New Delhi: Rohit Sharma Wednesday announced his retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect, ending all speculations about his future in the longest format.
The 38-year-old was India’s most prolific Test batter in the second half of his career, scoring 4301 runs in 67 Tests with 12 hundreds and 18 half centuries at an average of 40.57.
Rohit captained India to the World Test Championship final against Australia and saved the last couple of indifferent series against New Zealand at home and the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia.
India will have a new Test captain for the five-Test series in England with possible candidates being Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.
