The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the latest squad for Team India, bringing significant changes to the lineup. The most notable update is that Shubman Gill has been named the new captain, marking a new era in Indian cricket. The young batter’s consistent performances and leadership in domestic and IPL circuits have earned him the top spot.
Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami and middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer have not been included in the squad. While Shami’s exclusion is reportedly due to fitness concerns, Iyer’s recent form and ongoing issues with the selection committee may have played a role in his omission.
In a surprising and welcome move, Karun Nair makes a dramatic return to the Indian side. Nair, who famously scored a triple century in Test cricket, has been performing consistently in the domestic circuit, which has finally earned him another shot at the national level.
The new-look team reflects BCCI’s focus on youth, form, and long-term vision, with several fresh faces and some bold omissions.
📋 Key Highlights:
- Shubman Gill named Team India Captain
- Mohammed Shami and Shreyas Iyer left out of the squad
- Karun Nair makes a long-awaited comeback
- BCCI signals a shift towards youth and fitness-first selection
The squad is expected to assemble shortly for a training camp ahead of the upcoming international series. Fans and experts alike will be watching closely to see how this revamped Indian team performs under its new captain.
