New Delhi: Within a few weeks, the focus of the Indian cricket team will be on the red-ball cricket, coming out of the dazzling of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). Team India is ready to play a Test series of five matches against England under the leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma. Team management has started very strategic preparations for this important tour.
Bumrah will not be vice-captain, the reason is fitness and workload management
According to reports, veteran fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah will not be given the responsibility of vice-captain this time. Team management believes that the vice-captain should be the same player who is continuously available in the five Test matches. Since Bumrah has recently returned from injury and in view of the workload management, there is no possibility of playing matches, he has been kept separate from this role.
One of the pant or gill can get vice-priest
If sources are to be believed, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill are two such names, which can be assigned the responsibility of vice-captains. Both players will be available to play in the entire Test series.
A BCCI source said in a conversation with The Indian Express, “We want a player who played in five Tests and remained in a constant conversation with the captain. We do not want to make separate vice-captains for every match.”
Significantly, this series of five Test matches is important for both India and England. Winning in English conditions will be a big challenge for Team India and for this the right combination and leadership is very important. An official announcement can be made soon regarding the vapatani.
