Rishabh Pant’s appointment as test vice-captain explained: BCCI says “Wicket-keeper …”

Batting star Shubman Gill was assigned through the “massive transition” phase with India’s Test leadership on Saturday, which was through a “large -scale transition” phase with Rishabh Pant, self -withdrawn as his deputy for next month’s deputy to England tour, which is expected to reduce the fire. At the age of 25, Gill will be India’s fourth youngest Test captain after Sachin Tendulkar (23), Kapil Dev (24) and Ravi Shastri (25). The five -match series against England will begin on June 20 in Leeds. “Last year either we have seen Shubman (for leadership). We hope that he is the man who is going (to take the team forward). It’s a high pressure work, but he is a terrible player. We wish him all the best,” We wish everyone all the best, “The chief selector Ajit Agkar said that after announcing the squad.

Explaining the role of 27-year-old pants, Agrakar 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 selectors on the leadership of the team were on the expected lines after the retirement of senior stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both called it within a week of each other earlier this month.

Young Left-Hander B Sai Sudhrson and left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh earned their first Test call-up.

Referring to Agkar’s right IPL form, “Sai has not been selected on the basis of IPL, he has shown the right nature and is a game to succeed at the top level … We have been watching it for some time.”

Constant in Nair; Unfit shami out

The squad also stars Karun Nair, who returns to the national set-up after eight years. After the last played in 2017, Nair was soon removed from the team after becoming the second triple Centurion in the Test from India.

A notable exclusion was Pesar Mohammed Shami, which was not considered sufficient fit for a longer series.

Agkar said at the press conference, “His charge is not where it should be. We were hoping that it will be available, but it is unfortunate. At the moment he is not fully fit.”

From the tour of Australia, Harshit Rana and Sarfaraz Khan have been demolished.

Apart from Gill, Bumrah was another strong contender for captaincy job, but the selectors decided to assign leadership responsibility to 25 -year -old Batterfrom Punjab.

Gill’s rare talent is undisputed, but he is yet to prove himself in Test cricket, especially in the Army (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries.

“This is a massive transition. Both Rohit and Virat were around for a long time,” Agrakar sat with his selection panel colleague SS Das.

India’s squad for England’s Test Tour:

Shubman Gill (Captain), Rishabh Pant (Vice-Qetan), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kel Rahul, Sai Sudhasharan, Abhimanyu Ishwar, Karun Nair, Nair, Nitish Reddi, Ravindra Kadeja, Dhurav Jurael, Washington Sundara, Jashpadur, Jaspadur Deep, Arashdeep Singh and Kuldeep Singh.
