Ind vs Eng Test 2025: India’s Test squad for the England tour has been announced. Big changes after Kohli, Rohit’s retirement.
The team for the five-match Test series against England starting on June 20 was revealed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday.
Following Rohit Sharma’s announcement of his retirement from the format, Shubman Gill was appointed Test captain. His deputy will be Rishabh Pant.
Mohammed Shami was surprisingly left out of the 18-person squad. Arshdeep Singh received his first Test call-up, and Shardul Thakur made a comeback. The lone specialised spinner on the team was Kuldeep Yadav.
After Rohit and Virat, who is going to be the next captain for India in the Red Ball Competition?
SQUAD: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk/vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
Bumrah’s suitability for the five tests:
Agarkar went into detail regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness for the drawn-out series in England, as the pacer recently made his comeback to competitive cricket following an injury setback during the Test series in Australia.
He may not be available for all five tests, in my opinion. Once more, that is what the physicians and physiotherapists have told us. Whether he is available for three or four tests, the workload is the same, and he is crucial.
“We’re just relieved that he’s healthy and that his setback in Australia wasn’t too severe.
