The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced a 18-member squad for a five-match away Test series against England, a first bilateral series in over several years without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
With Shubman Gill set to lead the Indian team, as it enters a sort of transition phase without an experienced top order, India would be keen to shake off the jitters of losses against Australia and New Zealand.
The month-long series begins on Jun 24, 2025 and is a part of the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship. The series will have matches at Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord’s (London), Old Trafford (Manchester), and The Oval (London).
The team also sees comeback of old faces like Karun Nair and Shardul Thakur ready to make their mark on the English soil. Sai Sudarshan, meanwhile, has received his maiden call.
