Michael Clarke also issued a colossal warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as they hunt for a new captain to replace Rohit Sharma in the longest format of the game.
Rohit Sharma recently announced through Instagram that he would be retiring from Test cricket and would not be available for selection for the India tour of England 2025.
As per several reports, Shubman Gill seems to be the frontrunner to take over the Test captaincy of the Indian team, and the star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is likely to serve as his deputy.
Earlier, a similar kind of thing happened with all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who served as vice-captain under Rohit Sharma in white-ball cricket, but when it was time to name a new T20I captain, the BCCI chose Suryakumar Yadav over Pandya because the latter is quite an injury-prone cricketer.

Michael Clarke said that India will miss the services of Rohit Sharma in Test cricket, especially as captain, because he is a tactical genius.
“He is a player that any team would miss,” stated Clarke as quoted by RevSportz. "Tactically as a captain he will be very hard to replace. He read the game exceptionally well.”

“If Kuldeep plays I honestly believe he can be the difference between the two teams. He is bowling that well.”
