The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is likely to make changes to their squad for the upcoming five-match Test series against England. Veteran Indian opening batter Rohit Sharma is reportedly set to be dropped from the Test team, and Jasprit Bumrah is likely to take over as captain for the series.
Rohit Sharma’s place in the Test team came under scrutiny after a poor run in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series, which Team India lost 1-3. The Indian team management is expected to embrace a new direction from the first series in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.
