According to news reports, Rohit Sharma’s poor performance in red-ball cricket is likely to cause him to withdraw from the Indian cricket team’s forthcoming Test series against England. According to the article, sources have verified that the skipper of the Indian cricket team has already made up his mind. Virat Kohli is most likely to keep his spot in the team, the sources continued. During the Test series against Australia, Rohit only managed to score 31 runs in three games and even skipped the final match in Sydney.To prepare for the Test series, the ‘A’ team will play the Lions in two four-day matches in May and June, and several of India’s top players are probably going to be included in that squad.
India’s 45-day journey to England will start on June 20 with the first Test at Headingley, where they want to win the first away series since 2007.
Starting on May 30, The Spitfire Ground in St. Lawrence, Canterbury, will host the first four-day match. The second game will start at the County Ground in Northampton one week later on June 6, according to a statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).As of right now, all of the top Indian cricket players have contracts with their respective IPL teams. The league’s knockout stages will take place on May 20, 21, and 23 before the final on May 25.
The selectors have plenty time to reveal the India A team before the journey to England, and Karun Nair may currently be traveling.
As the top scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the fourth-highest run-maker in the Ranji Trophy, Karun has been quite impressive in the 2024–25 domestic season. He has amassed 863 runs from nine games at an average of 54, including two fifties and four hundreds.His prolific play enabled Vidarbha to defeat Kerala in the final and win their third Ranji championship.
“There is ample time to reveal the team, usually before to or immediately following the elimination rounds. A person familiar with the situation told PTI on condition of anonymity, “By then, you will have a clear picture of which players are available.”
