By our Special Correspondent

Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 7. The former Indian captain's sudden announcement ahead of the team's five-match Test series against England, starting June 20, raised speculations on his reasons for retirement. According to a report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejected Rohit's proposal, which was similar to MS Dhoni's, leading the Hitman to step away from the longest format of cricket.

          Rohit expressed his desire to travel to England, lead the team in the initial matches, and then announce his retirement during the series. However, the BCCI rejected the proposal, citing a need for consistency in leadership. According to the report, the Board offered Rohit the opportunity to go to the series.
