India’s four-day intra-squad practice match against India A in Beckenham continues on Day 2, serving as crucial preparation ahead of the five‑Test England tour starting June 20. Captain Shubman Gill, in his first red-ball leadership role, impressed with a fluent half‑century on Day 1, alongside KL Rahul’s fifty and Shardul Thakur’s wicket-taking spell. Gill urged intensity in fielding and discipline in batting and bowling units. Tailenders Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh took batting drills, emphasising depth. Yashasvi Jaiswal remains under scrutiny after a modest start. Meanwhile, coach Gautam Gambhir returned to India due to a family emergency. (PC: X/BCCI)
