The 31-year-old left-arm spinner and batter made his ODI debut in 2021 against England, where he struck the fastest half-century (26 balls) in history by a debutant in ODI cricket.
The fifth Test between England and India, the great finale of a soul-sapping series from last summer, has been one of the most awaited for so long that it came out with different skippers and coaching staff on both sides.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Jasprit Bumrah as captain for the upcoming Test and Rishabh Pant as his deputy as Rohit Sharma has tested positive for COVID-19.
The 26-year-old, who has made 237 professional appearances scoring 4,890 runs and taking 370 wickets, will join the Bears at the end of the 2022 domestic season.
Ben Foakes has been ruled out after failing to recover in time from the COVID diagnosis that caused him to miss the second half of England's seven-wicket victory.
While chasing a mammoth target of 338 runs against England, Rohit scored 102 runs off 109 balls, which included 15 fours. Unfortunately, Team India ended up on the losing side by 31 runs.
