Indian test team
Team India Announced for England Tour: The Indian cricket team has to visit England next month. The tour will begin on June 20, in which a five -Test series will be played between India and England. BCCI has announced Team India for this series. This is Team India’s first major tour after veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket. In such a situation, along with the Indian team, the new Test captain has also been announced.
Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new captain of the Indian Test team. Gill will be Team India’s 37th Test captain. The 25 -year -old Gill is the 5th youngest Test captain of Team India. Gill will now have a difficult challenge to do wonders not only on the bat of England but also with the captaincy. Arshdeep Singh has been selected in the Test team for the first time. Shardul Thakur has also returned to the team.
Sudarshan got a chance for the first time
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who performed brilliantly on the tour of Australia, have managed to retain their place. You will be surprised to know that Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair have also been included in the team. Sudarshan has received a brilliant batting reward for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. Karun Nair has returned to Team India after 8 years. He scored 863 runs playing for Vidarbha in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. This is the reason that now the selectors have given him a chance after a long time.
