The test match will be played between India and England in Birmingham. The Indian team has given a chance to many young players for this match. The selection committee has included the fast pitcher Mohammad Siraj and the famous Krishna in the Indian team. Along with this, wicketkeeper batsmen Shrikar Bharat and Shubman Gill are also part of the team. Gill will probably start with captain Rohit Sharma. While Bharat can join as a wicketkeeper. However, Rishabh Pant may have priority in the playing XI.
All eyes will be on the young players of the India team on tour of England. If Sreekar is given a chance in the playing XI, he can do well. Sreekar Bharat, 28, plays for Andhra Pradesh in domestic matches and has performed brilliantly in domestic matches. Bharat has scored 4,289 runs in 125 innings of first-class matches. During this, he has scored 9 centuries and 23 half centuries. He has scored a triple century in this format. His best score is 308 runs. He has scored 1721 runs in List A and 1058 runs in T20. Bharat, who has been amazing at ground keeping, has made 31 stumps in first-class matches.
Karnataka’s famous fast pitcher Krishna made his One Day International debut. He has taken 18 wickets in 7 matches. But Krishna doesn’t get a chance to debut in the test matches. If he is included in the game XI against England, he will be beneficial to India. Krishna has also performed well in IPL and domestic matches. He has taken 49 wickets in 21 innings of first class matches. While in 57 List A matches, 102 wickets have been taken.
The India team has also included Shubman Gill in the playing XI. Shubman has played in Test and ODI. He has also scored 4 half centuries in test matches. All eyes will be on him in the game against England. Along with Shubman, Shreyas Iyer and Hanuma Vihari will also have an important responsibility. Iyer and Hanuma have played in many international matches. So if he is included in the playing XI, he will definitely play a big role.
