Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from Test cricket, while star Pacer Mohammed Shami will recall the five -match five match chains in England due to issues of fitness, while star Pacer Mohammed Shami will recall the important five match series in England due to issues of India’s batting.
All eyes are now on the Indian side led by Shubman Gill, widely considered one of the most inexperienced teams to visit England in recent memory.
In the absence of Kohli and Rohit, India’s batting line-up appears quite thin in experience. So, can the selectors consider remembering experienced campaigners such as Cheteshwar Pujara or Ajinkya Rahane, who have yet to retire from traditional format, to strengthen the top order?
During an interview recently, Pujara was asked if Gautam Gambhir had reached him in connection with the tour of England.
“No, not yet,” Pujara asked Lallantop when asked, “Have you received a phone call from Gambhir yet?”
103-The legends expressed their readiness to return when given the opportunity.
“I am ready. I don’t know whether they will take me or not. But if I get a chance, yes, it will be an honor to represent the country again. As a cricketer, you always feel that you are always feeling as long as you are contributing, and if I am doing well in domestic cricket, and I am preparing well, I will get a chance.
Shubman Gill has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Indian testing team through a “large -scale transition” period, appointing dynamic Rishabh Pant as his deputy to expect a rigorous challenge in English conditions.
At the age of only 25, Gill became the fifth youngest Test captain in India, which follows Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi (21), Sachin Tendulkar (23), Kapil Dev (24), and Ravi Shastri (25). The first test against England is scheduled to begin in Leeds on 20 June.
“Last year either we have seen Shubman (for leadership). We hope that he is the boy (to take the team forward). It’s a high pressure work, but he is a terrible player. We wish him all the best.”
Explaining the appointment of pants as the vice-captain, Agarkar said: “Pant is one of our best batsmen in Test cricket in the last four-five years. A wicketkeeper can see the game well and that is why he is the deputy of Shubman.”
The squad also consists of the Meden Test call-up to promise left-handed batsman B Sai Sudarson and left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh.
