BCCI to break the tension over the next test captain of India, Reining Squad for England Tour today | Mint

The BCCI selection committee will announce the group for the upcoming Test series against England and the new captain. Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah are forerunners for Captaincy, while Sai Sudarshan may debut. Other potential inclusions include Karun Nair and Shardul Thakur. Former Team India All Rounder Ajit Agarkar Bcci Men’s Selection Committee is ready to Annonce the SQAD for the upcoming five match test series and the new Indian captain for the five match England series today. The Ajit Agarkar Committee in particular has some major choices to take especially, especially given the recent test exit announced by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Who will be next India captain? The biggest tension right now is who the next India test captain will be, with the most reports claiming that Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah are the forerunner for working with Rishabh Pant, which is also a possible option. While Bumrah has been to the captain of India in the past, his injuries may be a big factor for selectors to look at another player. Meanwhile, Gill has a successful record of captaining Gujarat Titans at IPL 2025 this year, where he led them to the playoffs this season. The young batter was also in phenomenonal touch and is currently the second highest run in the league. A wildlife map in the Indian Captain’s race could be Kl Rahul who had previously played in England and could give an experienced hand to this relatively inexperienced and young team. Who can be the new faces? If the choice of India A Team for England Tour is something to go, we see a number of new faces on the side. The most prominent name that shows up so far is that the left -handed batter Sai Sudarshan who impressed one and everyone with his IPL performances this year is the current orange hijacker. Sudarshan can be taken to England as an opening option, as there is an open slot in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Another opening option may be Abhimanyu Easwaran, but it still has to be seen whether the team management has enough confidence in the young batter to see him as an ordinary opener. Easwaran has also been selected in the past, but still has to make his test debut. The right -handed batter Karun Nair, the Allrounder Shardul Thakur and left -handed Pacer Khaleel Ahmed are, among other things, potential names that a comeback can make on the side. However, the final decision will only be unveiled by Ajit Agarkar during the press conference today.
