India Test squad announcement live updates: The Indian selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, will meet in Mumbai today to pick the squad for the England tour that starts from June.  Ever since the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, there have been unending debates and speculations over who will replace these two stalwarts in the Test squad. Besides being a fine opening batter in Tests, Rohit also led the Indian team. So not only do the selectors have to pick an able opener but also appoint his successor. For Kohli, an all-time great, they need to find an apt replacement at the no. 4 spot. The England tour has always proved to be quite a challenge for India, and it will be a baptism by fire for the touring party that will be without two of their most experienced cricketers henceforth.

India are set to tour England for a five-match Test series that will also kickstart the next ICC World Test Championship cycle. The press conference will be held at the BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai and is expected to get underway from 1:30 PM IST.

The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are reportedly among the top contenders to succeed Rohit as the next Test captain. They have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the team management is aiming to name someone who can lead the side for a long time.
