India’s T20 World Cup winning captain will stay in charge of ODI and Test teams, BCCI says.
India’s Rohit Sharma, who ended his T20 international career with an ICC T20 World Cup triumph, will lead the team at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the country’s cricket board has confirmed.
Rohit will stay on as captain of India’s Test and one-day international (ODI) teams after leading India to the T20 title and ending the cricket-mad nation’s 13-year drought for an ICC Men’s World Cup trophy, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Sunday.
The BCCI’s Secretary Jay Shah said Rohit would lead the side in the 2025 World Test Championship (WTC) final and the Champions Trophy.
“After this victory, the next stage is the 2025 WTC final and the Champions Trophy,” Shah said in a video message. “I am truly confident that we will win both the tournaments under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.”
Rohit, 37, Virat Kohli, 35, and Ravindra Jadeja, 35, announced their T20 exit after the win over South Africa in the final in Barbados on June 29.
