The big question on everyone’s mind: who will be the new captain of the Indian test team? With Rohit Sharma’s retirement, the suspense is building up. The BCCI is set to make an announcement today, May 24, and fans are eagerly waiting to know who will lead the team in the upcoming England tour.
A key meeting is scheduled for today, where the squad for the England tour will be revealed, along with the new test captain. The England tour kicks off on June 20, with a 5-match test series. The BCCI is expected to make the big announcement at 1:30 PM today, during a press conference with chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
Reports suggest that the Indian squad for the England tour will consist of 17 players. Meanwhile, there’s speculation about who will take over as captain – will it be Shubman Gill or Jasprit Bumrah? Some media reports indicate that Bumrah might be out of the running due to workload management issues, and may not even play all 5 matches against England.
On the other hand, Shubman Gill has been making waves with his impressive performance in the IPL 2025. His team, Gujarat Titans, has made it to the playoffs, and Gill has been a standout player, with 636 runs in 13 matches. He’s just 3 runs away from claiming the Orange Cap.
The BCCI’s decision is expected to be announced soon, and fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting to know who will be the new face of Indian test cricket. Will it be Gill or someone else? The wait is almost over.
