India Squad for England Series 2025: The Indian cricket team’s England tour (India Tour of England 2025) is going to start from June 20. The five -Test series is at a distance of about a month, at present, the biggest question is which players will be given place in Team India. Due to the Test retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, opening and number-4 batsman has become vacant. Now a big revelation has been revealed about Shreyas Iyer in a media report.

According to a report published in The Telegraph, there are very few chances that BCCI will take Shreyas Iyer on England tour. A BCCI source quoted the Telegraph said that if the Indian team had been playing a home series, Iyer would have got a place in the team, but they might not get a place in Team India on a foreign tour.

The selectors have not been able to win

The same source said that inside BCCI, it is believed that Shreyas Iyer still needs to do a little more work on his red ball game. Iyer is performing brilliantly in white ball matches, he was also the highest run -scorer for India in the Champions Trophy 2025.

It was also told that the short ball is not the only problem, but in England, swing and movement will also be seen in the ball, so that the art of leaving the ball empty should come. The source said that it is very important to leave the ball in England.

According to this report, another BCCI official said, “Shreyas Iyer plays naturally aggressive cricket and tries to score runs quickly. So it may be difficult for him to decide between the ball hitting and not.” This can be a main reason behind Shreyas not getting a place in the squad.
