New Delhi: India captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday announced his retirement from Test cricket ahead of the team's tour of England starting next month, but will continue to play the shorter 50-over format.
In 67 Tests, Rohit scored 4,301 runs including 12 centuries with a best of 212 against South Africa in 2019 and an average of over 40.
"It's an absolute honour to represent my country in whites," the 38-year-old Rohit wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for all the love and support over the years."
Rohit, who quit T20 internationals alongwith Virat Kohli after India's World Cup triumph in Barbados last year, recently led the team to an ODI Champions Trophy title in Dubai.
India will begin a five-Test series in England in June-July and the team now needs a new Test skipper.
