Rohit Sharma has retired from Test cricket with immediate effect, meaning India will need to name a new full-time captain almost immediately after the end of IPL 2025, with India's five-Test series in England scheduled to begin on June 20 at Headingley.

Rohit also holds the Indian record for the highest seventh-wicket partnership in Test cricket - a 280-run stand with Ravichandran Ashwin, showcasing his ability to anchor the innings even with the lower order.

MUMBAI, India (AP) — India captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from test cricket Wednesday ahead of the squad’s upcoming tour of England. The 38-year-old Sharma added that he will continue representing India in one-day internationals.
