Gill Can Be Test Captain Whenever ‘automatic Choice’ Bumrah Needs Rest: Jaffer
With Rohit Sharma: Amidst the debate over who should be appointed as India’s new Test captain, former opener Wasim Jaffer said Shubman Gill should lead the Test team on the upcoming tour of England whenever ‘automatic choice’ Jasprit Bumrah needs rest.
With Rohit Sharma announcing his retirement from Tests earlier this month, Gill has been widely seen as a front-runner to lead a new-look Indian Test team in the five-match series in England, starting on June 20 at Headingley. India hasn’t won a Test series in England after the 2007 tour, where they won 1-0 under Rahul Dravid’s leadership.
“I think Bumrah is an automatic captaincy choice, unless he doesn't want the responsibility. He should be the captain with Gill as VC - stepping in whenever Bumrah needs rest. This way Gill could also be groomed without the pressure of being the full time captain,” wrote Jaffer, who played 31 Tests for India, on his ‘X’ account on Friday.
