According to sources, Rohit Sharma's poor performance in red-ball cricket is likely to cause him to withdraw from the Indian cricket team's forthcoming Test series against England. According to the article, sources have verified that the skipper of the Indian cricket team has already made up his mind. Virat Kohli is most likely to keep his spot in the team, the sources continued. During the Test series against Australia, Rohit only managed to score 31 runs in three games and even skipped the final match in Sydney.
Virat Kohli is most likely to keep his place in the Test lineup, according to reports. Both Rohit and Kohli had a rough experience in Australia, and Rohit chose not to play in the Sydney Cricket Ground's New Year's Test. When India was led by Jasprit Bumrah in the first Test match at Perth Stadium, Rohit did not play. However, Rohit has had trouble scoring runs in Test matches since making a comeback for the Day-Night Test at the Adelaide Oval. Rohit only managed to score 31 runs at an average of 6.20 in three games.

The 'A' team, which will play the Lions in two four-day matches in the May–June window to prepare for the Test series, is expected to include some of India's top players. India will try to win the first away series at the Old Blighty since 2007 when they start their 45-day trip to England on June 20 with the first Test at Headingley.
Rumors of the seasoned batter's retirement also circulated when he chose not to participate in the Sydney Test. Rohit, nevertheless, stated that he had no plans to leave Test cricket. Rohit Sharma had told Star Sports, "This is not a decision of retirement. I am not moving away from this game. But I took a decision to step away from this game because I was not able to score runs with the bat. There is no guarantee that I will score runs 2 months or 5 months from now. I have seen a lot of cricket, every minute, every second and everyday life changes. I believe that things will change, but at the same time, I have to be realistic. People sitting in the commentary box, or writing with a laptop in their hands, will not decide how my life goes."
