'Rested' India Skipper Rohit Sharma Says Not Retiring From Test Cricket

By AFP News January 04, 2025 • 09:47 AM View: 809

India captain Rohit Sharma said Saturday he stood down from the decisive ongoing fifth Australia Test because he was not in form but insisted he was not retiring.

The acclaimed opener has had a poor series, with critics suggesting his omission from the Test -- with the visitors down 2-1 going into the match at the Sydney Cricket Ground -- was the end of his red-ball career.
