Which players are in contention for India's 2025 tour of England?
India are set to enter a new era in Test cricket following the retirements of R Ashwin, Test captain Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli. The tourists face several questions to answer – chief among them: Who will succeed Rohit as India’s skipper? Shubman Gill is primed to be his successor, with Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant also in contention.
A few days ago, an India A squad was announced to play two unofficial Tests against England Lions. The inclusion of Test regulars like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal underscores the importance of this shadow tour, offering a hint at what the main squad could look like.
Several comeback players in the India 'A' squad – like Shardul Thakur, Karun Nair, and Ishan Kishan – could address the selection headaches arising from the retirement of India’s senior trio.
