India Set to Face England in Upcoming Test Series: Schedule and Squads Revealed
India's Test Series Against England Begins
India is gearing up for a five-match Test series against England, commencing on June 20 at Headingley. This series marks a significant change for the Indian team, as they will compete without key players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin. Following Rohit Sharma's retirement, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Test captain, taking on the challenge of leading a transitioning team.
Jasprit Bumrah is also part of the squad but will participate in only three of the Tests, with his selection depending on the team's performance, as stated by head coach Gautam Gambhir. The current lineup features several young talents, and facing the aggressive Bazball style without seasoned players poses a considerable challenge.
