Australian legend Steve Wough opened the future of Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the next series of testing against England in June. The world cup winner said that Rohit should look in the mirror and ask if he still promises to lead and represent the Indian team.
Rohit Sharma has experienced maximum and lows last year. He brought India to victory in two ICC tournaments: the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. In the meantime, India suffered a loss of laundering in New Zealand in the house tests series and lost the border-Gavaskar trophy (BGT).
Rohit Sharma is the only one that can solve this problem: Steve Wough
Steve Wough said that Rohit Sharma should decide on his future, especially given his recent struggles. Waugh added that if Rohit wants to continue to lead, he must avoid complacency.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“It’s totally to him. He is the only one who can solve this problem. You have to look in the mirror and say, I still want to be captain or play in India? I’m committed?” Said Waugh.
“I put enough time and effort in it? It’s a privilege and an honor to play your country. You can’t be pleased or relax -you added.
Rohit Sharma opted for the fifth test of the BGT 2024-25 series
The 37 -year -old baptism scored only 31 runs in three tests in Australia, which asked questions about his place on the team. Rohit Sharma chose to drop by the final test of the border-gavaskar trophy. India was unable to classify in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 under its captaincy.
However, Rohit Sharma was successful during the India tour in 2021 in England, where he scored 368 strokes with an impressive average of 52.57, including a century in the Oval.
He was the highest scorer in India in the series. The series ended in a tie 2-2 after the fifth test was rescheduled due to Covid-19.
Rohit recorded two single -digit scores in the first three games of Mumbai Indians at IPL 2025. However, he scored 76 runs only 45 deliveries to Mumbai Indians (MI) victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on April 20.
Test cricket is the very essence of Cricket – Steve Wough
Steve Wough also talked about the future of the test cricket, especially with the growing domain of Cricket T20. He stated that the test cricket is still the core of the sport. Waugh said that players still want to prove in tests, describing as the final contest.
“There is stress in the test cricket, either to survive because we need it as a sport. The T20 cricket is incredible, ideal for players and spectators and excellent for sponsors, but I still think that the test cricket is the very essence of the cricket.”
“I think players still want to play tests to see how good they can really be. It is the final contest. Ensure that it survives and thrives and is healthy is really important,” explained Waugh.
