Story highlights

The Indian cricket team is going to start its ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle with a five-match Test series against England, starting on June 20 at Headingley in Leeds.

India will begin a fresh chapter in Test cricket with a five-match series against England, led by their new captain Shubman Gill. The Indian team returns to the longest format after a break of 162 days. Their last Test match was in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

A lot has changed in these five months. For the first time, India will play a Test without two big names — Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who both retired from Test cricket last month.

The team has a new look, with Karun Nair making his comeback after eight years and a few new players, including Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna, joining the squad. India has also added fast bowler Harshit Rana from the ‘A’ squad to strengthen the bowling side.
