Without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India will play a 5 -match Test series on the tour of England, for which the Indian team’s announcement is possible on Saturday. Before this series, captain Rohit and Kohli had said goodbye to Test cricket. The head coach of the Indian team Gautam Gambhir was asked during a show whether he was already aware of the retirement of these veterans? Gambhir also believed that it would be difficult between these two.

After the Pahalgam attack, India launched aircraft on terrorist bases in Pakistan. It was named Operation Sindoor, which started from 7 May. On this evening, Rohit Sharma announced his Test retirement. Then news came that Virat Kohli also wants to retire from the Test but he has been forbidden to do so in the ‘Operation Sindoor’. After the Indo-Pakistan ceasefire agreement on 10 May, Virat also announced retirement from the Test on 12 May. Now Gautam Gambhir has broken the silence about this, whether he knew about it in advance.

What did Gautam Gambhir say?

In the ‘Cricket Next’ show, he was asked whether he was already aware that both the legends were going to retire. To this Gambhir said, “When you start playing and leave the game, this is a personal decision. No one has the right to, whether it is a coach, selector, or any person in this country, no one has the right to tell you when to take retirement or not. It is their decision.”

Gautam Gambhir admitted that his shortage will be missed in Team India, but he also said that such young players also get a chance to show their talent. He said, “Yes, it will be difficult for us, but still there will be people who will definitely move their hands forward. Due to no one, the other person gets an opportunity to do something special for the country.”

Gautam Gambhir further said, “The same question was asked to me before the Champions Trophy when Jaspreet Bumrah was not there. The same thing happened there, and this gave another player a chance to do something special for the country.”

IND vs Eng Test Squad: Who will be the new Test captain of India on England tour? This will be known on Saturday when Team India will be announced for this tour. Jasprit Bumrah’s name was coming out as the new captain, but now the news that has come about him and Mohammed Shami is not good. Team India will play a 5 -match Test series against England, which will start from June 20.

Fast bowlers are very important in England, both Mohammed Shami and Jaspreet Bumrah are very experienced bowlers. But it is being told that Shami will remain out of this tour due to fitness, while Bumrah will not play the entire 5 matches. Bumrah was injured during the previous border Gavaskar Trophy, after which he played directly in the IPL, right now he is at number six in the list of bowlers taking the most wickets in the IPL.

Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammed Shami’s fitness update

According to the report of The Indian Express, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical team has told the board that Mohammed Shami will not be able to bowl for a long time. The possibility of playing all his 5 matches is also less.

In the report, Jasprit Bumrah was told that he had already informed the BCCI that his body is not able to play more than 3 Test matches.

If you believe the report and all 5 Tests will not be played on the tour of Bumrah England, then it is difficult that he should be chosen as captain. In such a situation, Shubman Gill can be captain on this tour.

The report quoted the BCCI source as saying that, “Mohammed Shami is putting his full spell for Sunrisers Hyderabad but the board and selectors do not know whether he can bowl more than 10 overs in a day or not. There may be a demand from fast bowlers on England’s pitch that he can put a long spell, so no one can take any risk.”

Talking about this season of Mohammed Shami, he scored 180 balls in 9 matches, gave 337 runs and took only 6 wickets. His economy was over 11 (11.23).

Last Test played in June 2023

Shami has been in and out of the team due to injury for many time. Talking about Test career, he played the last Test match against Australia in June 2023. He could not play the previous border Gavaskar Trophy due to injury. Shami has 229 wickets in 122 innings in 64 matches in Test cricket.

Mohammed shami retirement: The Indian cricket team will play a 5 -match Test series on England tour, which will start from June 20.
