After Rohit Sharma retired from the Test format, the picture before the England tour seems to be completely changing, where after the closing of the IPL on 25 May, Team India has to play a 5 -match Test series from June 20 next month, with which the new cycle of the World Test Championship will begin.
After Rohit's retirement, along with Team India's opening combination, there will be a change in captaincy, where now a young player will get the command of India on the tour of England (IND Vs ENG) and will visit India with a strong playing 11.
Rohit Sharma was usually seen opening for Team India, but Shubman Gill will be seen opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal after saying goodbye to Test cricket. Actually, the opening combination of bye and right -handed batsmen will be seen on England tour. At the same time, KL Rahul can go to bat at number three in the batting order.
At the same number four, star player Virat Kohli will be seen batting at his regular place. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant can be launched at number five. At number 6, all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy who did wonders in the Test series against Australia can be given an important role. At number seven, veteran all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja will play an important role in the team who will be the only spinner in playing 11.
On the pitch of England (IND vs Eng), India can land with four fast bowlers at its playing XI, with Jaspreet Bumrah the most prominent pace. The same Test debut of Arshdeep Singh seems to be fixed this time. Harshit Rana is also sure to visit England after a strong game in IPL. One of the same Mohammed Shami or Mohammad Siraj can get a chance in playing 11.
The first match of the five -match Test series to be played on the land of England (IND Vs Eng) will be played on 20 June, second Test on 2 July, third Test 10, July 10, fourth Test 23 July and fifth and last Test on 31 July.
