With seniors absent, India's new captain Shubman Gill and players like Sudharsan, Karun, Sundar, and Arshdeep will bank on their county stint to counter England in the upcoming Tests, drawing on experience in testing English conditions.

With the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a new era of Indian Test cricket begins against England. Several players, including KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, are poised to step up and become India's next batting star.

Karun Nair, recalled to the Indian Test team after eight years, revealed he was advised to retire and focus on T20 leagues. His strong domestic performance, including a Ranji Trophy win with Vidarbha, paved the way for his return despite the advice.

Ahead of India's Test series against England, coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill delivered an inspiring huddle talk. Gambhir praised Karun Nair's resilience, highlighting his return after eight years.

Seven players from India's 18-member Test squad participated in two unofficial matches against England Lions. The series ended in a draw, with some players showing promising form while others struggled.

Karun Nair returns to the Indian Test squad after a stellar domestic season, earning praise from coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir emphasizes Nair's experience and the importance of giving returning players a fair chance.

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan will skip the second unofficial Test against England Lions to join India's main Test squad, while KL Rahul and Akash Deep are set to feature in the India A fixture.

Karun Nair's impressive double century for India A against England Lions marks another significant turning point in his career. Nair is part of the India squad for the Test series against England and is aiming for a spot in the playing XI.

Veteran Indian batter Karun Nair scored a century for India A against England Lions in the first four-day match at Canterbury. This performance strengthens his case for selection in the upcoming Test series against England.

Karun Nair makes a comeback to the Indian Test team after 8 years. After being dropped from the Karnataka team in 2022, he underwent rigorous training with his Under-25 coach and earned his spot back.
