There was speculation about Rohit Sharma's retirement from Test Cricket
When the Indian cricket team went to Australia for a five-Test series last year, Rohit Sharma was seen struggling with his form. The team's performance was also not very good during that series. The situation had reached such a point that Rohit Sharma had to drop himself from the playing eleven of the last Test
After this, speculations started that Rohit Sharma will now retire from Tests. He has already announced his retirement from T20 International. But the announcement made by BCCI now does not seem that Rohit Sharma is going anywhere. When Team India goes to England for a five-Test series in June, Rohit Sharma can be seen leading the two-time WTC Runners-up in that too. However, the team has not been announced yet.
Rohit Sharma has been given A+ grade-contract
It is believed that the top officials of BCCI must have definitely talked to Rohit Sharma before announcing the central contract and must have known about his future plans. Only after that he has been given the grade of A+. If Rohit was planning to retire from Tests, then he would have been given at least the grade of A+, because this grade may not be given only for ODIs.
Rohit will continue playing ODIs and Tests
It is not known for how long Rohit Sharma will play Tests, but he definitely wants to play the ODI World Cup in 2027. Because he has already said that for him the real World Cup is the ODI one, which he wants to win. Rohit has now left T20 International, he plays IPL only for two months. Now his focus will be on ODIs and Tests. However, at this time Rohit's form is not the kind for which he is known and recognized. In such a situation, he will definitely be watched during the England series to see how he manages to perform.
