BCCI secretary Jay Shah, on Sunday, July 7, 2024, confirmed that Rohit Sharma will continue captaining the Indian team in the Champions Trophy and the ongoing World Test Championship in 2025.

Rohit Sharma recently captained the Indian team to the T20 World Cup 2024 title win in the USA & West Indies and retired from the format after winning the final.

"I am confident that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, we will win the WTC Final and Champions Trophy," Shah said in a video on X.

Jay Shah also congratulated Team India on its T20 World Cup 2024 win.

In the video, Shah said, "I want to congratulate Team India for this historic win. I want to dedicate this triumph to skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, (outgoing) head coach Rahul Dravid and Ravindra Jadeja. This was our third final in the last year. We lost (to Australia, at the Oval) in June 2023. In November 2023, we scored 10 wins (in the ODI World Cup) and won the hearts of the people, but couldn't win the World Cup (India lost to Australia in the final). I had said in Rajkot (on February 14 this year) that in June 2024 we will win the hearts of the people, and also the T20 World Cup (in USA & West Indies), and plant the tri-color (in Barbados).

And our captain did it. In this win, the last five overs (of the South African innings) played a big role. For this contribution, I want to thank Suryakumar Yadav (who took a great catch to dismiss David Miller at long-off), (Jasprit) Bumrah (who bowled a game-changing over), Arshdeep Singh (bowled an economical second-last over) and Hardik Pandya (bowled the last over of the match). Now, our next target is the WTC final and the Champions Trophy."

India's World Cup stars are likely to return to action during their tour of Sri Lanka, scheduled to get underway later in July. The senior players are likely to focus on Tests and ODIs for the next 12 months.
