Shubman Gill has been appointed as India's 37th Test captain ahead of the five-match Test series against England beginning June 20 at Headingley. The announcement came as the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee revealed an 18-man squad. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant was named vice-captain, while youngsters Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair received a call-up. Mohammed Shami missed selection due to fitness concerns. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack but may not play all matches. Kuldeep Yadav, Jadeja, and Sundar form the spin unit. The tour marks the start of India’s next ICC World Test Championship cycle. (PC: BCCI)
