Indian Test Cricket is now going into the transition period. The retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the national team will restult in a new Indian line-up for the test seriers coming up against England. Sai Sudharshan made his India Test debut and people will be watching to see if Karun Nair and Abhimanyu Easwaran get a place in the team. Above all, Mr. Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new captain for India Tests. On Saturday, Ajit Agarkar from BCCI announced the squad.
What Did Kiran Say
“First thing, I’m surprised. The whole selection committee and coach should’ve thought about this, that this (transition) was going to come,” Kiran More told Follow the Blues on JioHotstar.
“Now, suddenly, everybody has woken up and now they’re asking who should be the next captain. They should’ve been prepared. I feel we haven’t prepared for 1.5 years, this is a big wake up call for us.”
