New Delhi. On Saturday morning, Indian cricket will be the most important morning in history as Team will change a lot in India. A new era will start, as well as a team will come in front of us in which if Jasprit leaves Bumrah, then all will be fighting the battle for their existence. Filling the vacant space in every department with the right players will be a big challenge for the selection committee because the formation of a new era team is to start by creating a team of best formats of cricket.
After the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, a new era of change in Indian cricket will begin when the national selectors will select a new Test captain on Saturday for the five -Test tour of England. With the tour of England, the new cycle of the World Test Championship will begin and twenty -five years of Shubhman Gill is ahead in the race for captaincy.
Challenge of choosing a tonton team
Till the last tour of Australia, no one thought that till the next Test series, the whole team could be seen to be changed. The captain has gone to the name of the vice -captain and the star batsman of the team has said goodbye to the Test. Rishabh Pant, the only member in the team, who failed completely in the IPL, will be an integral part of the Indian team going through a change in Test format and can be made vice -captains. Apart from the captain, there is no possibility of much change in the team. The departure of Virat and Rohit has created emptiness, which will increase expectations from batsmen like KL Rahul. Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can start the innings in the first Test starting in Leeds from June 20. Sai Sudarshan can be a reserve opener who performed brilliantly in the IPL. The real challenge will be about who will be given a place among Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan or Shreyas Iyer as additional expert batsman. Pant will be the first choice in wicketkeeping and Dhruv Jurael can be selected as a reserve.
Challenge to set bowling department
Ravindra Jadeja will be the main spinner after Ravichandran Ashwin’s retirement, but it will also have to be seen whether two or three spinners can be landed in view of the situation in England. If two are selected, Washington Sundar can get preference for Kuldeep Yadav. Whether Bumrah will be able to stay fit for five matches in fast bowling, it is a question. There is also doubt about Mohammad Shami’s fitness. Mohammad Siraj will be the third fast bowler but if five fast bowlers are selected, then famous Krishna, Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh can be elected.
Possible 18 -member team for England
1-Shashswi Jaiswal 2-KL Rahul 3- Abhimanyu Ishwaran 4-Subhaman Gill 5-Sai Sudarshan 6-Sarfaraj Khan 7-Nitish Reddy 8-Rishabh Pant 9- Dhruv Jurail 10- Ravindra Jadeja 11-Rabindra Jadeja Shardul Thakur
