In their report, the NCA said that there was nothing wrong in Bumrah's latest scan reports, but the No.1-ranked pacer had yet to start bowling in full tilt.

Rohit Sharma Out of Tests? BCCI Locks in New India Captain

One of the biggest reasons why India did not want to risk Jasprit Bumrah for the Champions Trophy 2025 was that the fast bowler is being looked at as India’s future Test captain. BCCI chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar had a difficult choice to make when the National Cricket Academy (NCA) medical team, headed by Nitin Patel, kept the ball in his court regarding Bumrah’s Champions Trophy participation. In their report, the NCA said that there was nothing wrong in Bumrah’s latest scan reports, but the No.1-ranked pacer had yet to start bowling in full tilt. Since the Champions Trophy was barely a week away, the selectors and the team management did not want to take a chance.

Bumrah needs to be protected:

The need to protect Bumrah was not just because of what he brought to the table as a fast bowler-there is little doubt that he is currently the bowler across the formats- but also because of his leadership prospects. The BCCI have more or less finalised Bumrah as India’s next Test captain.

News agency PTI reported that current India captain Rohit Sharma is unlikely to be considered for Tests anymore, and Bumrah, who is the designated Test vice-captain, will take over as the leader from the England tour in June-July this year.

“It is understood that the main bone of contention was that Bumrah is yet to start bowling full tilt and those in the know of things said that it is very difficult to get match-fit in such a short time.

“Rather, he can come back for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and then lead India in England as Rohit Sharma is unlikely to be picked for Tests again,” PTI wrote.

Bumrah has led India in three Tests so far; on both occasions, Rohit was unavailable. The opener was battling Covid when Bumrah had to step up in the fifth and final Test against England in Birmingham in 2022. India lost that Test, but Bumrah showed signs of being a good leader. He got his next opportunity when Rohit arrived in Australia late last year for the birth of his second child. Bumrah single-handedly bowled India to victory in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Incidentally, that was the only Indian Test India won in an otherwise disappointing series.

The need of a new Captain:

Rohit Sharma’s worst year as a test captain came in 2024 when he averaged less than 25 and scored more single-figure scores than ever.

Moreover, India lost all six Tests in which Rohit was captain from late 2024 to early 2025, including a first-ever whitewash at home against New Zealand and three Test defeats in Australia, where Rohit’s scores were 2, 52, 0, 8, 18, 11, 3, 6, 10, 3.

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
