Let’s get more detailed information about it.
Jasprit Bumrah is not in this race.
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is the Test captain of India and has also led the team in some matches. However, there is constant doubt about their fitness. For this reason, the possibility is that the selectors will give them the responsibility of vice -captain. A senior BCCI source told a news agency, “If Bumrah is not a captain, there is no plan to hand over the vice-captain.” This information has been provided.
Pant figures good on foreign soil
Rishabh Pant has good figures in Test matches on foreign soil. Pant has scored an average of over 42 in challenging situations in Australia, England and South Africa. He has scored in these countries between 90 and 99 runs in these countries. Hence his name is at the forefront of the post of Deputy captain.
Confusion about Virat Kohli
The discussion of Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket has created a stir in the cricket world. According to a report, the selection committee is planning to hand over the captaincy to Kohli once again for the tour of England, so that Shubman Gill can be prepared for a full-time role in the coming time. However, Kohli has not yet made any official statement about his Test career.
Shubman Gill first choice
According to sources, Shubman Gill is currently the first choice of the selection committee for captaincy. KL Rahul is not included in this race. Because 33 -year -old Rahul’s career lacks consistency. His average in 50 Test matches in 11 years is less than 35, which goes against him. Therefore, the responsibility of captaincy can be given to Gill.
The Indian Test team for the England tour is expected to be announced by the end of the third week of May. Earlier, India A team will be announced earlier next week. Now the Indian Test team is expected to play under the leadership of the new player on the tour of England.
