India vs England Test series: The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Australia and will be seen playing a 5-Test series with the Australian team from November 22. The BCCI has announced an 18-member team for the Australia Test series and veteran players like Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin and Virat Kohli have also been given a chance in this team.
But the upcoming England Test series may be the last series for these three players and other players may get a chance in this team. So let’s know which 18 players can get a chance in the England Test series.
Team India will play Test series with England
Let us tell you that the Indian cricket team has to play its first series with the England cricket team in the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. Team India has to tour England in June 2025, where it has to play a series of five Test matches with the English team.
The first match of this series will be played from June 20. Many young players can be seen playing in this series. Whereas for the three veteran players of the current team, this may be their last series.
This could be the last series for Rohit, Virat and Ashwin
Actually, the age of all these three players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin has increased a lot. Due to this, they will hardly be able to play for Team India till the final of the World Test Championship 2027. In such a situation, the BCCI can bid them farewell in the England Test series itself and young players may get a chance in their place.
With Rohit and Virat out, doors may open for young players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal, Sai Sudarshan. While with Ashwin out, the fortunes of young players like Axar Patel and Washington Sundar may shine.
