The Indian Cricket team for the five test tour in England will be announced on Saturday. There is a lot of anticipation surrounding the team because it will be the first time after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have announced their retirement from the test format. There are many interrogation points surrounding that will lead the side. There is also a question mark on the player who will take control of position n ° 4 in the order of the strikers, owned by Virat Kohli for a long time. There is also a large question mark on the fact that Mohammed Shami is selected or not.
In the midst of this, a report said that the team’s strike order was almost adjusted. The Cricbuzz report said that Sai Sudharshan and Karun Nair were going to call in the team on the back of a solid spectacle in domestic cricket. However, Sudharshan, which is currently one of the best openers in IPL 2025, is unlikely to put the same hat in the tests. “It is understood that Kl Rahul was informally indicated by head coach Gautam Gambir that he will have to fight from the start. If this plan is held, Rahul should associate with Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top, with gills likely to switch to No. 4.
It is unlikely that the experienced runner from India Mohammed Shamid to climb aboard the plane in England for the next five tests with high issues, which should start on June 20 in Headingley, according to Espncricinfo.
Shami, who is capable of Bowl for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has not necessarily built the workload required for the high requirements of test cricket, according to Espncricinfo. His latest appearance for India in the configuration of the red ball dates back to the final of the world testing championship against Australia in 2023.
According to Espncricinfo, a member of medical staff of the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) went to Lucknow this week to assess Shami’s fitness level before the Hyderabad match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday.
It was not confirmed if the selectors decided to abandon Shami for the series. However, it is very likely that they will play safe and abandon Shami unless a favorable report comes from medical staff.
