The World Test Championship final and the 2025 Champions Trophy are the next two main goals for the Indian cricket team, and Rohit Sharma and company are already preparing for both events.
India’s 11-year wait for an ICC title is over with the successful conclusion of the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, led by Rohit Sharma and company. The 2025 Champions Trophy and the World Test Championship final are the team’s next main goals, and Rohit Sharma and company are already preparing for them. Veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have already stepped down from T20I cricket, will need to win those two events. The BCCI had stipulated that players who aspired to be on the national team compete in domestic events before to the T20 World Cup.As to a report published by the news agency PTI, the BCCI has advanced. There are three exclusions, nevertheless.
Not even the most accomplished cricket players can avoid making themselves accessible for domestic engagements when they are not on national duty, as BCCI secretary Jay Shah has made clear. But there will be an exception made for players like Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit, and Virat Kohli, who leads the pace. As a prelude to the Tests against Bangladesh and New Zealand in August, the BCCI would prefer that all other Test specialists participate in one, if not several, Duleep Trophy matches.
“The zonal selection committee for the Duleep Trophy is not present this time around. Duleep teams will only be chosen by the national selection committee.
All aspirants to the Test team will be selected. The decision to play or not would be made by Rohit, Virat, and Bumrah, the source continued.
The first two Test series under Gautam Gambhir’s coaching will be the ones discussed.
Gautam Gambhir’s selection as Team India’s head coach has pleased former South African bowler Dale Steyn.”I am a big fan of Gautam Gambhir. I love his aggression. He is one of the few Indians I ever played against who came back at you, and I like that. I think he is going to take that into the dressing room with guys like Virat and some of the other senior players who might not play as big a part anymore. I am not too sure. Not just in India, but in world cricket, we need guys who are a little bit more aggressive and play the game a little bit harder,” he said.
