The much-anticipated Test series between England and India is set to commence on June 20, 2025, at Headingley, Leeds. England has unveiled a 14-member squad featuring notable inclusions like Jamie Overton, returning after a three-year hiatus, and Jacob Bethell. The squad is led by Ben Stokes and includes seasoned players such as Joe Root and Chris Woakes. However, Gus Atkinson misses out due to a hamstring injury.
India, on the other hand, embarks on a new era with Shubman Gill taking over the captaincy following the retirements of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The squad sees the return of Karun Nair and the inclusion of promising talents like Sai Sudharsan and Arshdeep Singh. Rishabh Pant serves as the vice-captain and wicketkeeper.
