Team India: The Indian team is currently on a tour of Australia, where it has to play a five-match Test series with the host team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This series is going to start in 24 hours from now. India’s WTC cycle will end after the Australia series. The next WTC 2025-26 cycle will start with the England tour in July, where India will play a Test series against England. What will be India’s team for this series? Let’s know which players will get a chance...
Jasprit Bumrah can be the captain
Let us tell you that there will be many changes in Team India after the WTC 2024-25 cycle. The biggest change will be regarding the senior players. It is quite possible that this is the last phase for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. After this, these players can retire from Tests.
In such a situation, India will have to look for a new captain in Tests. Although many names will come up regarding the new captain. But Jasprit Bumrah ‘s claim as captain is the strongest. Because he is currently Rohit’s deputy and is in the role of captain in BGT.
Will these players get a chance?
In such a situation, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining Team India in the Test series against England. Sanju Samson and Varun Chakraborty can replace veterans like Virat Kohli and R Ashwin. Let us tell you that both the players currently play limited overs cricket for India. But soon both will make their debut in Tests.
The reason for this is the recent performance of both the players. Apart from these, Abhimayu Easwaran and Devdutt Padikkal will get a chance. In the bowling department, Harshit Rana can be fielded along with Bumrah and Siraj.
Probable Team India for Test series against England
Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimayu Easwaran, Devdutt Padikkal, Sarfaraz Khan, Sai Sudarshan, Varun Chakravarthy, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Mohammed Shami, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel
