ENG vs Ind: ‘If in India, he would make him captain for the tour of England’, a big statement of Von’s oblivious from the situation
New Delhi:
For the tour of England, where the selection committee and BCCI are thinking about the next captain, the opinion of the legendary cricketers has also gained momentum on the issue. While a veteran like Anil Kumble advised to make Jaspreet Bumrah a captain, former England captain Michael Vaughan said that if he were in India, he would have made Virat Kohli (Vaughan on Kohli) the captain for the tour of England.
If I was India I would give the capacity to Virat for the Test Series in England .. Shubman Gill Can Be His VC for the Tour .. #India

Vaughan has given his opinion at a time when BCCI is trying to celebrate Virat Kohli for his tour of England. It is clear that Michael Vaughan does not know about the latest developments. The reality is that after Rohit’s retirement, the BCCI had offered Virat to the captaincy for the tour of England, but Kohli quit accepting it, expressing his desire to retire from Test cricket and surprised everyone.
However, Vauan wrote in the post on X, ‘If I were in India, I would have captained the captain for the England Test series. Shubman Gill can be the vice-captain of the team. Millions of fans have also reacted to this wish of Michael Vaughan.
This fan is aware of the recent development. And it has said logical
Although I Agree, He Wants to Retire So Why Would He Make Him Captain? Maybe for a Farewell Series?

Certainly this is an idea, but it is of selector. BCCI officials want to make experienced person captain
Bcci source “selectors did think about having Virat Kohli as Captain for England Series, this would have given Given Given Gill Some Time Time to Grow Into A Leadership Role.”
