Former India coach Ravi Shastri revealed that he did not want Jasprit Bumrah to be nominated as India test captain and instead called two other young cricketers who could record the mantle. The choice for India test captain came after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this month. Ravi Shastri reveals why he doesn’t want Bumrah as captain of India: In an interaction with ICC, Shastri said: “Look at me, Jasprit would have been the obvious choice to Australia … but I don’t want Jasprit captain to become captain and then you lose him as a bowler.” Shastri noted that Bumrah had problems with back injuries that had not been available for selection for three months. “I think he (Bumrah) should take his body one game at a time. He is coming back to a serious injury now,” Shastri noted. “He played IPL cricket, which is four-over-cricket. Now the test of Bowling 10 overs, 15 overs will come. And the last thing you want is also some pressure on his mind as captain. ‘ The former India coach added. Who will Captain India in the English Test series? Shastri emphasized the importance of having a young captain on the part of the form of Rishabh Pant of Shubman Gill, in which he says that both are obvious choices. “You and I would take care of someone and I would say Shubman looked very good. Give him the opportunity. He is 25, 26 years old, even gives him time, ‘Shastri said. ‘There is also Rishabh. I think these two are the obvious I am looking at because of their age and they have a decade before them. Let them learn … they now have experience as captains, who have their franchise captain and it makes a difference. ” He further added. Shubman Gill led Gujarat Titans well this season and took them to the top of the IPL points table and on a clear road to the IPL 2025 play -off matches. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant had an ominous season with the bat and as captain who led to his franchise struggling for a play -off match.
