Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) have finally announced the squad for the upcoming tour of England. As expected, Shubman Gill is in charge of the Test squad as the captain. He succeeds Rohit Sharma, who retired from Test cricket recently. Rishabh Pant has been named as Gill’s deputy, which means he is the vice-captain.
