Opener Rohit Sharma is expected to retain India’s captaincy for the five -Test series against England. According to the news agency PTI that if Sharma is fit, then despite two disappointing performances against New Zealand and Australia in the second part of 2024, Team India will be led by Team India.
The BCCI may announce India and India A team in the second week of May. The selectors will have to consider the names of at least six contenders for two places of the middle order. The BCCI sent a 17 -member team on a tour of Australia but the final team for five Tests against England could be 15 or 16 players. At the time of this tour, India’s A team will also remain in England and in such a situation, the player of A team can be called according to the need of the main team.
The National Selection Committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, will need to consider a lot of thoughts to choose some players, especially the reserve batsmen. Apart from the players who performed brilliantly in the domestic season, there will also be players who have represented the national team who have not yet proved themselves according to their ability.
These players set a chance
If all the players are fit, then the captain Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli will be decided in the playing XI of the opening matches. Nitish Kumar Reddy will play the role of all -rounder.
Sai Sudarshan Red Ball, who scored 7 centuries in 29 first class matches, is also a player who should be monitored. He has already proved himself for Gujarat Titans in IPL. The selectors will also be eyeing this Khabu batsman because their technology is good and they also performed well for India A in Australia before they were injured.
