India in England: Shubman Gill named India men’s new Test captain

Top-order batter Shubman Gill has been named the new Test captain of the India men’s team.

The 25-year-old succeeds Rohit Sharma as captain, with the 38-year-old having retired from Test cricket earlier this month.

Gill, who has scored 1,893 runs in 32 Tests, will lead a depleted India team in a five-Test tour of England starting on 20 June.

Veteran seamer Mohammed Shami was left out of the squad following a late injury setback, although he played in the Indian Premier League.

Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been named Gill’s deputy in the Test squad.

India Test squad: Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (vice captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Druv Jurel , Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
