In all possibilities, India will be the new vice-captain of India in trials with talented batsman Shubman Gill to take over as the national team in the traditional format. Vice-Captain’s choice is a straight ahead as pants are one of the best Test batsmen in India under foreign conditions and Jasprit Bumrah cannot be considered for the role of deputy due to his height and also makes him uncertain for the entire series when he has his own fitness man. In Australia, England and South Africa, on average, with average, 42 plus, with seven scores between 90 and 99, makes the best batsmen pants in the format with seven scores.
A BCCI source told PTI, “If Bumrah is not a captain, he has no meaning to offer a sub-captaincy,” a BCCI source told PTI.
While the cricket fraternity is surprised by the wishes of Virat Kohli, the talizer of retiring from Test cricket, it is revealed that the selection committee considered the idea of handing over the leadership to Gill in England to give him some more time to the groom. So far, Kohli has not made any official announcement and is believed to be requested to compete in the upcoming five test series in England as his experience will be necessary in challenging circumstances, especially when Rohit Sharma has also declared his test retirement.
However, BCCI is tight on his interaction with Kohli regarding its test career. PTI selectors president Ajit Agkar and BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia reached the chairman, but they have not yet responded to the query.
“It is true that the selectors thought of being Kohli as the captain of India for the England series. It would have given Gill some time to grow in the lead, but at the age of 25-to-a-half years, he is still to reach his peak. Due to Bumrah’s fitness issues, Gill appeared as a clear option to the committee of Ajit Agarkar,” said a BCCIS.
It is understood that KL Rahul is not considered as an alternative because he is already 33 plus and continuity has been an issue with the Bengaluru player, even though he was one of the better artists in Australia.
The average of less than 35 in 50 games after 11 -year Test cricket is not impressive.
The Indian team for the tour of England will be announced during the end of the third week of May while India will be announced early next week.
If there is a certainty among the miscreants for the Test tour, it should be Tamil Nadu Southpo Sai Reforms, who has left an impression. If all goes well, he will either remain open or bat at number 3.
