Sunil Gavaskar Reveals How Shubman Gill Backet CAPTAIN: How Shubman Gill became Test captain on England tour, Gavaskar gave the credit to Jaspreet Bumrah

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team will play under the captaincy of new Test captain Shubman Gill next month on a tour of England. After retiring from Rohit Sharma’s Test, the selectors have given this big responsibility to this 25 -year -old youth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has said that Choosing Shubman Gill as Test captain for England tour became easy for the selection committee as ‘selfless’ Jaspreet Bumrah had already told that he would not play all the five Tests of the tour.

Shubman Gill is just 25 years old and has played 32 Tests for India. Truth, his average of 35 cricket pundits believe that he is not a qualified player to take up this responsibility. For a long time, Bumrah was considered to be the successor of Rohit Sharma, but the decision of the selection committee to stay on a captain and not changing repeatedly meant that he chose a player who would surely play five Tests.

Gavaskar wrote in his column for mid -day, “The selfless cricketer of the team, Jaspreet Bumrah, informed the selectors that he would not play all the tests due to his back problem. The selectors decided to make Gill a new Indian captain, which made the selection even easier. There is no doubt that there will be no doubt that they will be ready to create a Bumrah Sahara for Gill. Will make a strategy to dismiss the batsmen.

The former Indian cricketer has appreciated the balance of the team. His only concern is about the schedule. The first Test of India and England will be played in Leeds on 20 June and the next four Tests will be played within a month. Gavaskar said, “He has taken six new bowlers as well as Nitish Reddy who can bowl with the middle pace. The tour is very busy and there are five Tests in six weeks. Net bowlers will be needed as Test bowlers will also need some rest after consecutive Tests.”

The second Test will begin on 2 July in Birmingham. In which there will be a difference of eight days. Meanwhile, Gill and Reserve batsman B Sai Sudarshan can miss the second four -day match of India A against England Lions, which starts from 6 June. Gill and Sudarshan are part of the Gujarat Titans. If Gujarat makes it to the finals, he will play in Ahmedabad on June 3. It will be difficult for him to connect with India A before the game.
