Rohit Sharma is the captain of the Indian cricket team in all formats now. He is all set to lead the team in the upcoming tour of England, but he did not travel to the United Kingdom with the rest of the squad earlier today. Fans were surprised to see Sharma absent in the group pictures uploaded by the Indian cricket team on social media.
Almost all members of the squad boarded the flight to England. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are still in India because they are members of the Indian squad for the ongoing T20I series against the South African cricket team, while KL Rahul is traveling to Germany to get his treatment done for an injury that ruled him out of the home series against the South African cricket team.
The coaching staff of the Indian cricket team, including head coach Rahul Dravid, is also in India right now with the T20I squad for the ongoing series against the South African cricket team. According to a report by Sports Today, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and the coaching staff will leave for England on June 20.
The reason why Rohit Sharma did not board the flight today is because he will be doing so on June 20.

Rohit Sharma took a break from cricket after Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2022 season ended
Rohit Sharma took a much-needed break from cricket after the Mumbai Indians played their last league match of the season against the Delhi Capitals on May 21. He went for a vacation with his family to Maldives.
It has been revealed that Rohit will be traveling to England on June 20. There are no quarantine rules for this series, which is why Rohit will straightaway link-up with the team after landing in England.
