Team India will tour England starting on June 20, where a 5-match Test series will be played between the two teams. With this, the new cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC) will also begin. For this tour, the BCCI will announce the Indian squad today, Saturday, May 24. Following the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a new era of Indian Test cricket is about to begin.
This time, the biggest challenge for the selectors is to fill the void left by Rohit and Virat. The most pressing questions are: Who will be the new captain of Team India? Who will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal? And who will bat at number 4 in place of Virat Kohli? According to reports, Shubman Gill is the front-runner for captaincy. Let’s take a look at when, where, and how you can watch the live squad announcement for Team India.
