Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket on a day it was revealed by The Indian Express that he would not be captaining the Indian cricket team for the England series.
“Hello everyone I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It’s been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years,” Rohit said with a photo of the Team India Test cap on his Instagram Story.
The announcement comes after a wretched tour of Australia earlier this year resulted in a second defeat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
In the last 11 Test innings, Rohit Sharma has an average of 6.63, having managed to score only 73 runs. Rohit’s longest outing was his latest hit in the second innings at MCG in a 340-run chase, facing 40 deliveries for nine runs.
