India’s Test Squad Reshaped in Four Months: Fresh Faces In, Veterans Out Ahead of England Series

In a dramatic reshaping of the Indian Test team, the BCCI has announced a revamped squad for the upcoming five-match Test series against England—just four months after the Australia tour. The new lineup includes two fresh inclusions, Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair, both earning call-ups after impressive domestic performances. In a surprising move, seven players who were part of the recent Australia series have been dropped, reflecting a bold strategic shift. Leadership has also changed hands, with Shubman Gill named as the new Test captain and Rishabh Pant appointed vice-captain, ushering in a new chapter for Indian cricket.
