The Indian cricket team has been announced on Saturday for the tour of England. Many young players have got a chance under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, after many years Karun Nair has returned to the team. Vice -captain Rishabh Pant has been selected while Jaspreet Bumrah is also included in the team. After this announcement, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh’s statement has come, he has admitted that India is going to be very difficult on this tour and he has said that India may lose this series.
Harbhajan Singh said, "First of all, many congratulations to Shubman Gill, who has become the captain of the country before Punjab. Many congratulations to him and his family, captaincy for Team India is a big moment for anyone. Ever since the IPL has started in the last 2 months, this is the best news for Rishabh Pant that he has become vice -captains. Because IPL has not been good for him."
India may not win
Harbhajan Singh believes that this tour is going to be very challenging for this young team, and may not even win this series. But he has also appealed to the fans that these players should not be judged by this visit.
He said, "For the first time a young team is going. The team is still in a phase of change. Do not judge these young players with this tour. What is the captain of Shubman Gill? It may be that Team India may not win here, but victory is not necessary every time. Sometimes defeat also teaches you something. I am not saying that Team India will not compete but will be difficult in England’s circumstances. If you play well, you will definitely win."
