India are all set to take on England in a five-match Test Series that begins from June 20. This will be the start of India's campaign in the World Test Championship 2025-27. This series will mark a massive tectonic shift in Indian cricket, as this marks India's first campaign in the longest format since the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. A lot of youngsters are touted to make the squad for the series, and it looks like an important member of India's T20I setup might finally get his debut call with the red ball.

According to a report by The Telegraph, Arshdeep Singh is all set to make it to the India squad for the England series. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee has imfrmed the left-handed pace bowler to be battle-ready for a potential Test debut. His ability to swing the ball both ways is the reason why he is being selected for the squad.

However, Arshdeep Singh, has not been selected in the India A side that is set to travel to England to take on the England Lions in two four-day games and an intra-squad match with the senior team before the start of the tour.

Reports have stated that Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are the two leading candidates to replace Rohit Sharma as the new Test captain, after Jasprit Bumrah opted out of the race since he might not play all five Tests vs England due to workload management.

However, the selectors are divided over who to name among Pant or Gill as the new Test Captain. One selector has reservations regarding Gill as he is not an automatic first-team choice for India in the longest format. He believes that Giull is more suited to a vice-captaincy role.
