If rumors are to be believed, the second week of May will see the announcement of India's Test series team against England. There will be at least six candidates for a few middle-order reserve spots, according to PTI. The BCCI sent a 17-man team for the tour of Australia, but since the India A contingent makes it easier to call in reinforcements if needed, the final roster might be reduced to 15 or 16 for the five Test matches against England.Given how well several players in the domestic circuit have played in the most recent Ranji Trophy season, changes are anticipated.

After making an impression in both red- and white-ball forms, Karun Nair is probably going to get a chance on the A tour and might even be selected for the Test team.

Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Yashasvi Jaiswal will all be automatic picks for the Test team if everyone is healthy. Nitish Kumar Reddy is anticipated to hold the all-rounder's spot for the foreseeable future. According to PTI, at least six players are anticipated to be in serious contention, even if no names have been finalized. While the rest will probably play in the India A series against the England Lions, which will take place concurrently, one or two of them may make it into the senior side.

Rohit Sharma to lead India

For India's five-Test tour of England, opener Rohit Sharma is anticipated to continue serving as captain. Despite two poor performances against Australia and New Zealand in the second half of 2024, it is being reported that Sharma would continue to captain the team if healthy.
