The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to announce India’s Test squad for the upcoming five-match series against England on May 24, 2025. This announcement will mark the beginning of a new era for Indian Test cricket, following the recent retirements of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
According to Media Reports, it is believed that chief selector Ajit Agarkar could announce the squad in a press conference on the same day in Mumbai. “There has been some confusion on whether the squad would come out on May 24 or 25. But the last time, it was heard that May 24 is the likely date of the men’s Test squad announcement and also the unveiling of the new Test skipper.”
Shubman Gill, currently leading the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, is the frontrunner to assume the Test captaincy. His leadership experience and consistent performance make him a strong candidate. However, other names like Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant are also being considered for leadership roles, depending on fitness and strategic considerations.
