New Delhi. The Indian team has not yet been announced for the Test series against England. Everyone’s eyes are on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and head coach Gautam Gambhir, because cricket fans are waiting to know who will be the new Test captain after Rohit Sharma. It is reported that on May 24, the Indian team may be announced for the Test series against England.
According to the report of India Today, the team is expected to be announced on 24 May for the new Test captain and the upcoming England tour. It has been suggested that this announcement can be made on Saturday after the selection meeting and a press conference can also be held. According to his sources, this announcement can be made around 12 o’clock (IST). After retiring from the longest format of veteran players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, it remains to be seen who will lead the Indian team now.
After missing out in the final of the World Test Championship in the 2023-25 session, the two senior players decided to get away from the format. In many reports about the new captain, Shubman Gill, Jaspreet Bumrah and Rishabh Pant have been described as prominent contenders. But it is also being said that Bumrah has separated himself from the race of captaincy.
Due to injury after playing all five Tests in Bumrah’s recent Australia tour, they cannot be expected to play all five Tests. According to a report by Sky Sports, a selector was not in favor of the appointment of Gill, as he has not proved himself in the longest format yet. It is not yet clear who BCCI will choose for this role.
However, one thing is certain that whoever is appointed, he will have to fill Rohit and Kohli deficiency. The tour of England will also be a tough challenge in itself, because since 2007 he has not won any Test series in England. The cycle of the new World Test Championship is starting from the England series, so the Indian team would like to score maximum points so that they can return to the race again.
