India Squad LIVE UPDATES: India squad for the five-match Test series against England could be out soon. India will head to England without two of their greatest test players – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who announced retirements from the format. The BCCI is planning to name Shubman Gill the captain of the team, however, many believe that Jasprit Bumrah is the right fit for the role. The BCCI will have a task in hand to pick the replacements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Karun Nair’s name is doing the rounds as a potential replacement for Virat Kohli.
There are doubts about the fitness of Mohammed Shami, which is another major concern for the selectors. Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to play all five Tests of the series, so a fit and firing Mohammed Shami will be vital for the visitors.
