Shubman Gill Test captain : A new era in Indian Test cricket will begin on June 23, when Shubhman Gill will lead the team in the first match against England as captain. The five -match Test series is about to begin at the Headingle of Leads, where the Indian team will be re -established in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who has suddenly retired.
Rohit Sharma’s retirement decision was highly expected – especially after he removed himself from the Sydney Test at the beginning of the year, due to four months of failure. However, Virat Kohli’s retirement was shocked by many. At the age of just 5 and a month before the start of the series, it was completely unexpected that Test cricket was always called ‘highest format’.
However, even if Kohli retired, the party that was monitoring the party proved a video report by RevSportz. It says that the new Test captain Shubhman Gill, co-captain Rishabh Pant and several other cricketers invited the cricketers at his residence in London just a few days before the first Test of England tour. The Indian team had no practice on Monday, the day after the end of the Intra-Squad match in Kent was rest. As a result the players had time, and this was the opportunity to meet.
Although the report was not given specific topics of the meeting, it is believed that the preparation of the series, and how the young team can be operated – all of these have been discussed. It is reported that the meeting lasts for about two hours.
And only three days at the beginning of the series
The Indian team is expected to arrive in Leads on Tuesday, where head coach Gautam Gambhir will join them. Gambhir returned home for some time for personal reasons. The team will practice in the city for the next two days. RevSportz also said on Monday that Harshit Rana was asked to stay in England after the Intra-Squad match. The pacer, who made his Australia debut, was not considered for the series in the beginning. He was with the India A team in England and played only one match against Lions, where he scored a wicket and scored 5 runs.
