India captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from test cricket on Wednesday but said he will continue playing One-Day Internationals which have been his strong suit.
The 38-year-old had quit Twenty20 Internationals immediately after leading India to their second 20-overs World Cup title in West Indies last year.
Hello everyone, I would like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket, Rohit posted on Instagram.
Its been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI One Day International format.
Jasprit Bumrah, Rohits deputy in the test squad, led the side in two tests in Australia last season in Rohits absence but the Indian cricket board BCCI may not task a fast bowler with full-time captaincy given their injury-prone nature.
