Former Australia captain Steve Waugh has issued a direct challenge to Rohit Sharma, urging the India skipper to reflect on his commitment to national duties. The Indian cricket team will return to international action against England for a five-match away Test series in June. While questions are swirling around Rohit’s longevity in Tests, Waugh said the decision lies solely with the veteran batter. "It is totally up to him. He is the only one who can solve that problem. He has got to look himself in the mirror and say, do I still want to be captain or play for India? Am I committed? Am I putting enough time and effort into it? It is a privilege and an honour to play for your country. You can't be complacent or relax," Waugh told PTI. Rohit, who continues to lead India in Test and ODI cricket, is expected to play a key role in the upcoming series. Recently, he has been awarded an A+ BCCI central contract as well. Rohit has received both support and scrutiny for his current form in the IPL. ‘You have to make things happen’: Waugh defends Test cricket scheduling Steve Waugh also weighed in on the ongoing discussions around the international Test calendar, noting that complaints are part and parcel of modern cricket currently.

"There are always complaints. In the Champions Trophy, India played a neutral ground in Dubai, and people complained about that. You have to do what you can to make things happen. It's not a perfect situation. Some countries play a lot of Test matches, some don't play many. South Africa probably didn't play as many as other countries. They were pretty successful in what they did. I believe the two best Test-playing countries are lining up in the final," Waugh added. South Africa and Australia are set to face off in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025, beginning June 11 at Lord’s. Notably, Australia enter the much-anticipated clash as defending champions, having clinched the 2023 title with a win over India. This marks the first time India have failed to reach the WTC final, after finishing as runners-up in both previous editions, losing to New Zealand in 2021 and Australia in 2023.
