Shubman Gill is to be declared cricket news as India’s new Test captain for 5-Test Series vs England

Mumbai: ‘Coronation Day’ Shubman Gill has finally arrived as India’s new test captain. When the national selectors hold a meeting at the BCCI headquarters at 1 pm on Saturday, Gill is to be nominated as the new captain of India’s Red-Ball team, to choose the squad for the upcoming five-trial tour of England.While the 25 -year -old Punjab batsman will lead the side, either KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant will be his deputy. According to a reliable formula, Premier Pesar Jasprit Bumrah dropped himself out of the captaincy race when he informed the selectors that he would not be interested in the job as he would not play all five tests in England. This will be India’s first test series since Rohit Sharma (previous test captain) and Virat Kohli’s superstar pair’s test retirement. After the selection meeting, the chief selector is determined by a press conference of Ajit Aggarkar.As he had done in the case of Australian tour in December-Jan, the selectors are likely to ignore experienced Pesar Mohammed Shami for a fierce tour, as the ability to bowl for a long period of 34-year-old is a concern, and there is little likely that he will be able to facilitate all five tests. Bumrah already informed BCCI that he would not facilitate more than three tests, carrying another bowler who cannot finalize the series, it is not a great idea.

Iyer is likely to beAccording to sources, the selectors are likely to ignore Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer from India’s Test Squad, despite the middle-order batsmen are doing well for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in the 2024-25 season. The 30 -year -old scored 480 runs @68.57 in five matches in five matches in the Ranji Trophy last year. A big indication is that Iyer was not in the plans of the selectors of things, when he was ignored from a squad shadow tour from India to England, which was before the series.“Iyer’s new stance, bold strokeplay, careless attitude for batting is no longer suited to the game of white ball. The selectors are not convinced about the skills of his red ball,” a source of tracking developments told TOI.Improvement, Nair is sure that pickThe two batsmen who are definitely with a dispute for berth in India’s squad are Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair. Both have been selected for India to visit England- Team will depart on Sunday- although Sudarson will only join the second match. For a testing withdrawal after eight years long, Nair has been a viral scorer in the domestic circuit – he scored 863 runs in nine Ranji Trophy matches, with four centuries, on an average of 53.93, Vidarbrabh’s third Ranji Trophy won a stellar role.Even in the 2023–24 Ranji season, Nair scored 690 runs in 10 [email protected], with two centuries and three half-centuries, to help Vidarbha finish as a final. The 30 -year high point in domestic cricket, however, came in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season, when he scored 779 runs in nine matches (eight innings) at an incredible average of 389.50 with five centuries. “If the selectors do not choose someone who has shown such stability in domestic cricket, what does it mean to play domestic cricket. It is a certainty,” a source of tracking developments told TOI.

The 23-year-old SAI is set on fire while playing for Gujarat Titans in IPL-2025, and currently 638 runs in 13 matches with 638 runs in the league @53.16, fifth fifty fifty and one hundred have one hundred runs under their belts. Tamil Nadu is given high -handed high status, and will help his early partner and Captain Gill will now be the new captain of the test side. The only mess is that the first class Ecord of Reforms is not great, he has scored 1957 runs in 29 matches @39.93 with seven hundred and five fifty.However, their techniques, nature, association and strokeplay all make an attractive package.Former England White-Ball captain Jose Butler told the official broadcaster, “He was highly impressed with his batting colleague Sudarshan in Gujarat Titans,” I said that it’s some time, the day saw him in the nets, how good I was, he was blown away. More importantly, (he has found) a great head on his shoulders. The effort he makes, the work, the understanding of his game, the humility of coming everyday and working.He has shown magnificent continuity and has to receive the awards given by him. ,While he has formed a successful opening partnership with Gill in the ongoing IPL, Sudarshan is unlikely to open in England. The Indian team management is likely to continue with the initial combination of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. With the possibility of slipping under the Gill Gill to fill Kohli’s large shoes in that slot, the number 3 slot may be toss-up between Sudha and Nair.

Mumbai-based batsman Sarfaraz Khan can also find a place in the squad. Although he did not find a game in the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia, which India lost 3–1, Sarfaraz was selected to visit England for India. This will help in the case of Sarfaraz that both Devdutt Padikkal, who were preferred in the first BGT test in November last year, have suffered injuries in No 3 slots, and silver Patidar nursing. Nth named as the captain of India for the time, Abhimanyu Ishvaran is likely to be maintained as the third opener.Sources have shown that although it is vastly experienced Cheteshwar Pujara (37) a ‘VRS’ proposal if raised and retired at the end of the series, especially the absence of seniors like Rohit and Kohli, but it is unlikely that the selectors and team management will return as the new World Test Championship.Shami is expected to dismiss, but the final decision will be taken based on the NCA report. It leaves a place in the form of pacers for Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Prasad Krishna, Akash deep and harsh Rana. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar will be the spinning all-rounders, while Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has recently been asked by the selectors to bowl, and Shardul Thakur will be the seam bowling all-rounders.The only expert will be spinner Chinman Kuldeep Yadav. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurlel will be out-off-for-form as two wicketkeepers.Potential Squad: Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashsvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Sai Sudhrasana, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rishabh Pant, Dow Juraral, Jasprat Bamadra, Mohammad, Mohammad, Mohammad, Mohammed, Mohammed, Sharadul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav.India is set to depart for England on 6 June, the first test of the series starting in Headingley in Leeds on 20 June.
