Team India has to play a Test series against England this month. Before the series against England, Team India is getting one setback after another. First Team India's former captain Rohit Sharma and then veteran player Virat Kohli announced their retirement before the series. Now Team India's newly-appointed captain Shubman Gill will not be seen playing against England. Not only this, Sai Sudarshan will also not play against England with him. Let's know what is the full news.
Gill-Sudarshan will not play unofficial test for Team India
Actually, Team India's newly-appointed captains Shubman and Sai Sudarshan will not take the field to play the second unofficial Test match against England Lions. Let us tell you that the India A team is playing two official Test matches against Team England Lions. So that the preparations for the Test series can be completely good. The second match against England Lions will be played between June 6 and June 9.
Big reason revealed
Although earlier there were reports that Sai and Gill would take the field to play the second match against England Lions. But now this will not happen. Both Sudarshan and Gill were part of the IPL and their team lost in the eliminator. Due to which they have taken a break to recover from the long tournament. So that they can play the long Test series against England well.
Excellent form of both the players before the England series
If we talk about the form of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan before the England series, then both the players were seen giving very good performance in the IPL. Sai scored 749 runs in 15 matches in the IPL with an average of 54.21. Which includes a century and 6 half-centuries. Gill, who is captaining Gujarat, has scored 650 runs in 15 matches with an average of 50, which includes 6 half-centuries.
