BCCI will unveil India’s Test squad and new captain on May 24 for the England tour. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired, major changes could redefine Team India’s future.

A Big Reveal Awaits as India Gears Up for England

On May 24, the BCCI is expected to put up a landmark moment in Indian cricket, the Test squad for the England tour. The selection, which will be held later in the afternoon, will form the official appellation of India’s new Test skipper post-retirement of two post-modern gurus Rohit Sharma and Virat Kholi.

Leadership Void Creates Opportunity and Uncertainty

We now have Kohli and Rohit leaving with the team at a very important juncture. Without them, the selectors are at the other end of the scale with a mammoth leadership as well as a batting void that they don’t know how to deal with. Now, the question is all about who would take charge; KL Rahul, R Ashwin (he is not retired), or even Jasprit Bumrah are a few names that are whispered in cricket corridors.

Can Sai Sudharsan Ride His IPL Wave?

With the squad taking form, one of the major talking points is Sai Sudharsan. His name has been doing the rounds as a possible IPL reserve opener after an exceptional season. The inclusion of Sudharsan could indicate a bold new era in Indian cricket (Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are expected to open at Leeds 1 vs.2 starting June 20).

Middle Order: A Tug of War Between Talent and Form

It seems an increasingly tough fight for the middle order battle Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, and Karun Nair are neck to neck for the job. The selectors will have a hard job deciding, do they support experience at the top of the international heap or call time on domestic commodities with IPL potential? Each of these options has echoes that run far deeper than the dressing room.

Jadeja to Lead Spin, Pant Set to Keep

After Ravichandran Ashwin’s retirement, Ravindra Jadeja will be the key spinner for most of the team. England being a swing-friendly track, England’s all-rounder question arises: will Kuldeep Yadav make the cut or is the all-round Washington Sundar too good to leave out? At the crease, Rishabh Pant is likely to continue as the key behind the stumps option with Dhruv Jurel as a possible backup.

India’s pace battery — fitness will most certainly be the key concern for the Indians. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami being under the microscope, no doubt Siraj would have to carry most of the load. Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, and Arshdeep Singh’s names also can feature at the top of the team if selectors decide to go with five seamers.
