Does that mean Rohit will play all test matches now. I don't think he has fully established himself as a test batsman

The national selectors have decided to remove Rohit Sharma as captain of India’s Test team, and go with a new leader for the tour of England that starts next month. It remains to be seen if Rohit travels to England as a specialist opening batsman. The Indian Express learns that the Indian cricket board will back the selectors’ decision.
“The selectors’ thought process is clear. They want a new leader for the England tour and Rohit doesn’t fit in as a captain, especially considering his red-ball form. They want to groom a young leader for the next Test cycle and the selection committee has informed the BCCI that Rohit won’t lead the team,” a source in the Indian board informed this newspaper.
