India’s Likely Squad for England Tests
There we were talks of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma Being Dropped From The Test Side; However, with BCCI handing them an a+ contract, it is almost confirmed they will be on the flight to england. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the other two top-order batters in the squad.
Kl Rahul and Rishabh Pant will be the wicket-keeeping options, while nitish reddy should be the fast bowling all-rounder. Dhruv jurel should be removed to hold on to his place as well, however, sarfaraz khan might be dropped despite not getting a game in Australia. India can instead opt for shreyas iyer, who has been in good form.
R Ashwin is retired, so kuldeep yadav will be the lead spinner, with ravindra jadeja and washington sundar for company. Rohit is expected to lead the side, but he may not play all tests if he endures a poor outing in the first few games. In that case, jasprit bumrah or shubman gill can be asked to lead.
Despite the fitness concerns of jasprit bumrah and mohammed shami, the two should be the frontline pars for the visitors. Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, and Possibly Bhuvneshwar Kumar Could also make it to the squad.
