Jasprit bumrah test captain: May 7, 2025 was the date when Rohit Sharma said goodbye to the Test format. Before that, there were speculations that one of Jaspreet Bumrah or Shubman Gill could become the new captain of the Indian Test team. On May 24, BCCI declared Shubman Gill as the new captain of India’s Test team. How did Jaspreet Bumrah lag behind in this captaincy race? Bumrah himself has reacted to not becoming the captain of the Indian Test team.

Jasprit Bumrah made a big disclosure

Talking to Sky Sports, Jaspreet Bumrah revealed and said, “I spoke to the BCCI before Rohit and Virat’s retirement and during the IPL that I have considered my workload before the Indo-England series. I have talked to those who manage/manage my back. We decided to be careful.”

Bumrah himself refused

Bumrah himself revealed, “After considering, I contacted BCCI and told that I do not want me to be seen as a captaincy alternative because I will not be able to play all 5 Tests in England. BCCI was watching me as captain, but I had to refuse for him because it is not a good thing that no more captaincy is doing in 3 Test matches, there is no other captaincy in the rest of the matches. Is, so I decided not to take captaincy by thinking in the interest of the team. “

Now on the tour of England, Shubman Gill will be captaining the Indian Test team for the first time. Please tell that Rishabh Pant was given the responsibility of vice -captain in the Test team. Gill will also be under pressure because Team India has not won any Test series in England for the last 18 years.
