While India is preparing for his first series in the world test championship cycle of 2025-27, the former skipper of Australia Michael Clarke has made a daring statement about the Virat retirement test.
Virat Kohli recently dropped a bomb by announcing his retirement of test cricket only a few days before the selection meeting for the India-England series. Everyone thought he would go to England for this crucial series, but he had already informed the selection committee of his decision in April. After lending India to victory in the T20 World Cup in June, he stepped away from T20Is and now only focuses on ODIs.
While India is preparing for his first series in the world test championship cycle of 2025-27, the former skipper of Australia Michael Clarke has made a daring statement about the Virat retirement test. The Australian cricket legend suggested that Virat could consider retiring if India struggles in the series against England and says: “He still likes test cricket.”
“I believe this. When India goes to England and gets melted, if they lose the series 5-0, for example, I think the fans want Virat Kohli to retire again and play test cricket again,” Clarke said 23 Cricket Podcast.
“And I honestly think, when he was asked by the captain, selectors and supported by fans, if they are beaten big in England, I think he will come. He still loves test cricket.” I think his words, I think those words, like you could hear his passion for test cricket, is real. “
Only a week before Virat’s retirement, Rohit Sharma also decided to get rid of test cricket. This means that India will miss their top two batters when they go to England.
Shubman Gill has now taken the reins as the new test captain of India, who refers to number 3. He will have rishabh pants by his side, which is a consistent presence since his test debut in 2018.
Jasprit Bumrah, many of whom thought it would be the new test captain, unfortunately missed the role due to continuous fitness problems. The five games between India and England starts on 20 June, with the last test planned from 31 July to 4 August in London.
