IND vs Eng Test Squad: Who will be the new Test captain of India on England tour? This will be known on Saturday when Team India will be announced for this tour. Jasprit Bumrah’s name was coming out as the new captain, but now the news that has come about him and Mohammed Shami is not good. Team India will play a 5 -match Test series against England, which will start from June 20.
Fast bowlers are very important in England, both Mohammed Shami and Jaspreet Bumrah are very experienced bowlers. But it is being told that Shami will remain out of this tour due to fitness, while Bumrah will not play the entire 5 matches. Bumrah was injured during the previous border Gavaskar Trophy, after which he played directly in the IPL, right now he is at number six in the list of bowlers taking the most wickets in the IPL.
Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammed Shami’s fitness update
According to the report of The Indian Express, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical team has told the board that Mohammed Shami will not be able to bowl for a long time. The possibility of playing all his 5 matches is also less.
In the report, Jasprit Bumrah was told that he had already informed the BCCI that his body is not able to play more than 3 Test matches.
If you believe the report and all 5 Tests will not be played on the tour of Bumrah England, then it is difficult that he should be chosen as captain. In such a situation, Shubman Gill can be captain on this tour.
The report quoted the BCCI source as saying that, “Mohammed Shami is putting his full spell for Sunrisers Hyderabad but the board and selectors do not know whether he can bowl more than 10 overs in a day or not. There may be a demand from fast bowlers on England’s pitch that he can put a long spell, so no one can take any risk.”
Talking about this season of Mohammed Shami, he scored 180 balls in 9 matches, gave 337 runs and took only 6 wickets. His economy was over 11 (11.23).
Last Test played in June 2023
Shami has been in and out of the team due to injury for many time. Talking about Test career, he played the last Test match against Australia in June 2023. He could not play the previous border Gavaskar Trophy due to injury. Shami has 229 wickets in 122 innings in 64 matches in Test cricket.
