Jun 05, 2025 11:06 PM IST Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket last month While the world will still have to wait for another fortnight to get a true glimpse of Shubman Gill’s captaincy in Test cricket, with the India star set to become the youngest leader of the team in this century, come the Test series against England, the 25-year-old gave the first sign of his bold leadership when he addressed the sudden retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma before the tour. Indian cricket captain Shubman Gill addresses a pre-departure presser at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters in Mumbai on June 5, 2025, ahead of India’s tour of England for Test series(AFP) Less than a month before the Indian team’s departure for the tour of England, Rohit announced his retirement from Test cricket via Instagram. Just five days later, Kohli did the same. The back-to-back announcements left an air of uncertainty around the strength of the Indian team, especially before the crucial series against England. However, Gill boldly dismissed questions about any pressure on the young Indian team in the absence of the two stalwarts, saying it was just like any tough situation they had faced before. “Pressure is always there in every tour. Definitely, two very experienced players who played for such a long time and won so many times, very difficult to fill their space. But it is not a different kind of pressure, all of us players are used to it,” he said in the pre-tour presser on Wednesday. India will have experienced players in KL Rahul, returning Karun Nair, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and of course, Jasprit Bumrah. Gill also opened up about the kind of captain he wanted to be, saying that he wanted to make players feel secure during his tenure through communication. “No particular style that I want to follow. I like communication with the players, making them feel secure. Making a bond with the players is very important for me as a captain. It is only when players are secure that they will give you their 100 percent,” he said. The England series will begin on June 20 at the Headingley.

‘Cannot lose 11 people’: Gautam Gambhir makes a strong statement on Bengaluru stampede, RCB celebrations | Cricket News

Danijones04 mins

NEW DELHI: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir made a strong statement on the tragic stampede in Bengaluru that occurred during RCB’s IPL 2025 victory celebrations. The incident resulted in the loss of several lives and left many others injured. Gambhir, along with newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill, addressed the media in Mumbai ahead of the team’s departure for England for a five-match Test series.“I was never a believer of road shows. I had the same statement to make even after winning in 2007, we should never have roadshows. Maybe in the future we can do something in a stadium. My heart goes to the families of those who lost their lives,” Gambhir said.“All I can say is, we need to be responsible. Every life matters. If we are not ready to hold a road show, we should not do that. You cannot at any point of time lose 11 people,” he added.Shubman Gill was named the new captain of the Indian Test team, a decision officially announced by the BCCI during the squad unveiling for the upcoming England tour, set to begin on June 20.

England name 14-man squad for first Test vs India, recall surprise pacer with just one cap after 3-year absence

Danijones04 mins

England have announced a 14-member squad for the opening Test of the series against India, which begins June 20 at Headingley. Ben Stokes will lead the side, with Jamie Overton making a return to the Test team after nearly three years. Overton has played only one Test so far, with his sole appearance coming against New Zealand in 2022. Gus Atkinson was unavailable for selection due to a right hamstring injury sustained during the recent Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge England’s captain Ben Stokes (C) and his players prepare to start on the third day of the four day Test cricket match between England and Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge in Nottingham(AFP) Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Overton, and Josh Tongue feature in the pace attack, with Shoaib Bashir included as the sole spinning option. Jacob Bethell also returns to the Test team after missing the one-off match against Zimbabwe last month. The 14-member squad included the top-3 of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope, who smashed brilliant centuries against Zimbabwe. Jamie Smith is expected to keep the wickets, retaining the role he played in the Zimbabwe Test. England squad: Ben Stokes (Durham) – Captain, Shoaib Bashir (Somerset), Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire), Harry Brook (Yorkshire), Brydon Carse (Durham), Sam Cook (Essex), Zak Crawley (Kent), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Jamie Overton (Surrey), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jamie Smith (Surrey), Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire), and Chris Woakes (Warwickshire) The BCCI, meanwhile, had earlier announced an 18-member squad for the England Test tour, which featured a new Indian Test captain in Shubman Gill. With both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retiring from the format, the tour will mark the beginning of India’s generational transition; this will also be India’s first Test series without Ravichandran Ashwin, who had earlier called time on his international career during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Karun Nair made a return to the Indian Test squad after over eight years, and produced a brilliant performance during his outing for India A against England Lions last week. Nair hit a double century in the game, while Abhimanyu Easwaran, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Nitish Kumar Reddy – all part of the squad – smashed half-centuries in the second innings. Gautam Gambhir, the Indian head coach, and Gill will address the media in a pre-departure press conference on Wednesday.

‘Karun Nair gets 100, KL Rahul requests BCCI to…’: Gambhir handed ‘two gems’ ahead of England series

Danijones05 mins

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen, who mentored Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, is mighty impressed with Karun Nair and KL Rahul ahead of the upcoming five-match Test series against England. Pietersen, who worked with both these batters at close quarters in the T20 competition, lauded the way both are preparing for the upcoming series, beginning June 20. Kevin Pietersen, who mentored Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, is mighty impressed with Karun Nair and KL Rahul(PTI) Karun Nair vindicated the selectors’ call to include him in the main squad as he hit a century in the ongoing first unofficial Test between India A and England Lions in Canterbury. The right-handed batter, 33, made full use of some below-par bowling on a green surface, which offered some initial assistance for the pacers. Karun remained unbeaten on 186 on Day 1 of the first unofficial Test as he made a strong case for his inclusion in the playing XI for the first match of the five-Test series against England in Headingley. The right-hander was involved in an 181-run stand for the third wicket with Sarfaraz Khan. The latter missed out on a well-deserved century, but Karun piled the misery, and he found support in Dhruv Jurel. According to reports, KL Rahul has also requested that the BCCI fly him to the UK next week so that he can play the second Test between India A and England Lions. Also Read: Karun Nair makes dream start to England tour with century for India A Pietersen labelled Nair and Rahul as “two gems” of Indian cricket as he appreciated their efforts to prepare for the England tour. “Karun gets a 100 yesterday, and KL has asked BCCI to travel early to the UK to get extra practice in before Tests – 2 gems,” Pietersen wrote on X (formerly Twitter). KL Rahul to leave for the UK on Monday According to a report in the Times of India, KL Rahul will leave for the UK on Monday after being granted permission by the BCCI. Rahul was originally slated to leave alongside the rest of the Indian team on June 6. However, he decided to play the second India A Test against the England Lions after rain spoilt his preparation in Mumbai. KL Rahul had also played for India A before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. The opening batter will now be required to shoulder the responsibility of the batting order after the Test retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rahul was one of India’s best batters in the series against Australia, which India lost 1-3. India will be led by Shubman Gill against England while Rishabh Pant will serve as his deputy. India squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 12, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2025 India target a 3-0 ODI series clean sweep to backup their 4-1 thrashing of England in the T20Is! India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India made it another four wicket win to lead this ODI series 2-0 with just this remaining game in Ahmedabad to go. For the hosts, the series has already been an excellent exercise as they ramp up their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month, whereas for England, this tour has been something of a disaster, losing six of the seven matches across T20Is and ODIs. Ahmedabad is a city where India have an excellent record across all formats and England have also struggled at the venue so it could well be another triumph for the hosts on Wednesday! Both teams do have form players with India’s captain Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja impressing. For England, only really Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be said to be playing anywhere near their top level. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview After winning the series opener by four wickets and with 68 balls remaining in Nagpur, India opted to make two changes for the second ODI with Virat Kohli returning alongside spinner Varun Chakravarthy who made his ODI debut. Jashasvi Jaiswal, who himself had debuted in the opener, missed out along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Those changes show just how much depth India have in this format and it was no surprise to see them beat England again, with the result not looking in doubt throughout the entirety of the chase! Expect the likes of Kohli, Harduk Padya and KL Rahul to be pushed up the order a little in this game to give them as much opportunity as possible to maximise time in the middle ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are both likely to play again as they look to build up their fitness ahead of the tournament. England Preview England’s torrid tour of India will conclude after this game and coach Brendan McCullum will be hoping that he can inspire his charges to the second win of the trip! He should have a strengthened side for this game with pace bowler Jofra Archer coming back after being rested in Cuttack and keeper-batter Jamie Smith now fully fit after a calf issue had sidelined him over the previous ten days. There are some positives for England with all of the top six making scores between 26 and 69 on Sunday, including Ben Duckett and Joe Root making half-centuries. They really need someone to kick on in this ODI though and help their bowlers who have struggled to keep the lid on India’s run-scoring when chasing. Adil Rashid has been consistent, as has Jamie Overton but England will be hoping that the duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer can really cause problems with pace in Ahmedabad. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this game will start with the temperature at 28 degrees, and in spite of being a day-nighter, also finish with the same temperature. In the meantime it will get as high as 32 degrees on a day which will be cloudless. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a spinners paradise in some Test matches previously but in ODIs and T20s it tends to be an excellent surface for batting on. As a result, we expect to see a strong batting surface with a par score of 350+. Toss: To Bowl England have lost both games in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Therefore, we predict that whoever wins the toss ahead of this ODI will elect to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 09, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Barabati Stadium, Cuttack, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 England’s miserable tour of India continues as the hosts continue to sharpen their skills ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This is turning into a very disappointing tour of India for England and was certainly not what Test head coach Brendan McCullum had in mind when he added the white ball side to his brief at the start of this year! Since arriving in India, England have won one and lost five games across five T20Is and one ODI and apart from getting on top towards the end of the powerplay in the first innings, seemed to be forever playing catch-up in the first game of this series on Thursday. India on the other hand were able to canter home with 68 balls remaining in spite of being without star batter Virat Kohli who was not risked due to a slight injury to his right knee. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview It was a fine team performance from India in Nagpur to get this three match series underway with only Hardik Pandya going wicketless from the six-man bowling unit. He made up for that by being in the middle for the winning runs and although there will be disappointment from captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul who were both dismissed for only two runs, India look like a team who will take some stopping in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy. Shubman Gill top scored with 87 runs from 96 balls and was well supported by Shreyas Iyer (59 runs from 36 balls) and Axar Patel (52 runs from 47 balls) in a slightly re-shuffled batting order which saw Ravindra Jadeja come in at number eight, such is the batting depth in the side. England Preview Ahead of the start of the series, it was announced that Jofra Archer would play in only two of the three games but that could now change as England will certainly want him available for this match and if the series is still alive after the fixture then they may well risk him for the decider! The right-arm pacer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and returned good figures of 1/39 from seven overs but it was his fellow opening bowler Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid who were the leading wicket takers with two dismissals each. Brydon Carse may find his place under threat if he doesn’t perform in this game though as he was far and away the most expensive with his five overs costing 52 runs. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the temperature will be at 27 degrees at the start of this ODI before jumping up to 30 degrees in the mid-afternoon. When the floodlights kick in, the temperature will still be in the mid twenties! IND vs ENG Pitch Report This has always been a good batting wicket in Cuttack and we predict that both teams should be able to post strong totals. A par score batting first in this game will be in the region of 320. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last six ODIs in Cuttack have been won by the team chasing and England have also had most of their recent success in this format when bowling first. Therefore, we predict that both sides will choose to chase if they win the toss.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 06, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30​ PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 India have dominated England in 50-over cricket in recent years, emerging victorious in four of their last five meetings.  India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis The England-India battle moves from the fast-paced T20 format to the longer game, with a three-match ODI series that has fans buzzing. The first ODI of the series will be played at Nagpur this Thursday. India edged out a 4-1 victory in the T20Is, but the ODI series presents a whole new ballgame with a different Indian team ready to go. Captain Rohit Sharma will be pushing for a home win, while England, under Jos Buttler, will be aiming to recover from their earlier struggles. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are gearing up for the ODI series with a well-rounded team that blends seasoned veterans and emerging young stars. At the top of the batting lineup, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill will provide both consistency and dynamic stroke play. Recently, Rohit and Kohli have faced criticism for their underwhelming performances in red-ball cricket. However, they excel in the ODI format and are expected to perform well in this series. England Preview England will be looking to redeem themselves in the ODI format after their defeat in the T20I series. Their recent performances in 50-over matches have been disappointing, with losses against Australia at home (2-3) and the West Indies abroad (1-2). To improve their standing, England’s strong batting lineup needs to produce substantial scores. Key players like Jos Buttler, Joe Root, and Harry Brook have the ability to rack up big scores. Root, in particular, thrives in Indian conditions, boasting an ODI average of 49.16 against them here. Brook is a dynamic young batsman who has impressed in various settings and is likely to enjoy playing in these conditions. At the top of the order, Ben Duckett and Phil Salt will provide aggressive starts, while Liam Livingstone and Jamie Overton are expected to contribute quick runs in the middle and lower order. Weather Conditions The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium offers a balanced surface, with something for both batters and bowlers. Early on, pacers can extract movement, particularly under lights, while spinners become more effective as the game progresses. The pitch tends to slow down, making shot-making trickier in the middle overs. Dew could play a role, favoring the team batting second if conditions become damp. The weather forecast shows a bright, clear, and pleasant day in Nagpur with no rain in sight. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium is 288. The highest total posted here is India’s 354-7 versus Australia back in 2009, a game they won by 99 runs. These records show that we can expect a great batting strip at the venue with both teams eyeing a score in the range of 280-300 runs.  Toss: To Bowl Six of the nine ODIs played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium have been won by the chasing side. Going by these stats, it’s very likely that the team winning the toss will opt to field first here and take advantage of dew under lights.

India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis England have been successful in troubling the hosts with the ball. The visitors picked up 8 wickets in the 2nd T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai. They finally managed to gain the upper hand as they defended 171 runs in Rajkot beating India by 26 runs. Adil Rashid weaved magic in the middle-over with his right-arm leg break. Suryakumar Yadav and co. have some thinking to do. They were staring at loss in Chennai too. If it wasn’t for Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, England would have achieved parity much sooner. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India have a great depth in the batting lineup. And that allows the top-order batsmen to play a fearless brand of cricket. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav are all known for their attacking approach to the game. Samson’s lack of runs is a big concern for India going ahead. Abhishek Sharma, on the other hand, is struggling to convert his starts into a longer knock. He can make a huge impact on the game even if he stays at the crease for the first 4-5 Overs of the game. Suryakumar Yadav coming in at number 3 may not be a great idea. Tilak Verma fits the bill for number 3. He can adjust his strokeplay and pace the innings according to the situation of the game. England Preview Jos Buttler will be delighted with his team’s comeback in the 3rd T20I. He will back his players to carry the momentum into this game to achieve series parity. Mark Wood, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer looked promising with the ball. Despite what their economy rates suggest, they were quite successful in delivering breakthroughs that changed the course of the game. Jamie Overton and Adil Rashid were the stars of the match. Rashid’s 1 for 15 from his 4 Overs helped squeeze the flow of runs during the middle over of India’s run-chase. The right-arm leggie had delivered figures of 1 for 14 in the previous game in Chennai. The best way forward for England will be to back their strengths. They’ve got a strong pace attack. The visitors should be aiming at beating Indian batters with pace while Rashid continues doing his job in the middle overs. In the batting lineup, Ben Duckett seems to have found his form at the top. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Pune with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. Though a few days are expected to be cloudy this week in the city, there are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted game of cricket between these two sides. IND vs ENG Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket where both batters and bowlers can find some help. The highest score successfully chased at this venue was 158 runs by India against England back in 2012. In 2023, Sri Lanka recorded the highest total by any team at this venue when they scored 206 runs batting first against India. The average 1st innings score in the 4 T20Is played here is 166 runs. We reckon anything over 180-185 will be a competitive total at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Pune. Though the recent matches have been qutie low-scoring, the venue has witnessed high-scoring encounters in the past. Both teams have a deep batting lineup that features some of the big stars in T20 cricket. They will back themselves to chase down a target.

IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India will take on England in the 3rd T20I of the 5-match T20I series against England at home at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot on 28th January 2025 at 7 pm IST. England are on a tour to India to play 5T20Is and 3ODIs. This will be the third game of the 5T20Is series, which India currently leads 2-0, after winning the first two T20 Internationals against England. While the first victory was an easy one for India, but they had to fight for the second win. England were so close to winning the second game, but Tilak Verma’s brilliance made sure India goes into the third game without losing a match. Can India seal the series in this third T20I or will England be able to keep it alive? An interesting game is coming up between these two T20I giants. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are on a roll when it comes to T20I cricket. The T20 world champions played 25 matches in the last year, winning 23 of them. No other major cricketing nation comes close to this win-loss ratio of 11. India are currently ranked first in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings with 268 rating points. India started the series against England with a comprehensive win by 7 wickets, with over 7 overs remaining in the 1st straight to India at Eden Gardens. Varun Chakravarthy’s spin and Abhishek Sharma’s hard hitting batting helped India take the lead in the series. Bowling first, India restricted England to a below-par score of 132 all-out in 20 overs. Barring Jos Butler, India did not allow any batter to settle in. Varun Chakravarthy was the peak of the bowler with 3 wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs. Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Akshar Patel took 2 wickets each. Hardik Pandya was a bit costly though. The chase proved to be extremely one-sided as Abhishek Sharma took the attack to the opposition by scoring 79 runs in just 34 balls with 5 fours and 8 sixes to help India get the win in the series opener. England Preview England rank third in ICC Men’s T20I team rankings. However, their performances in the recent past have not been up to the mark. In the last five games, they have managed to win just one game with one no result. In the current 5-match series against India, they have already lost the first two games and are on the brink of losing the series if they lose this third T20I match at Rajkot. The first T20I was a complete no-show by the England batters, except for Jos Butler. England batted first and scored 132 runs, out of which Jos Butler, the captain, scored 68 runs. As many as seven England batters were out for a single-digit score against the formidable Indian bowling attack. It was a no-show by the bowlers as well, except for Joffre Archer who took 2 wickets for 21 runs in 4 overs, as England lost the game in the 13th over itself. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot is expected to be hot, with a lot of sunshine and a few clouds. The temperature will range between a high of 33°C and a low of 16°C. These are excellent conditions for a cricket match.
