A tough challenge first up for Shubman Gill as Test captain

With Rohit Sharma announcing his retirement from Test cricket, followed by Virat Kohli's retirement as well, Shubman Gill has been named India's new Test captain ahead of the series against England.

In the absence of the seniors and two stalwarts, it will be a challenging task for Gill to lead the Test side. Moreover, his very first assignment as captain being an away tour of England could make things difficult.

The first of the five Tests will be played at Headingley from June 20 to 24. Edgbaston, Lord's, Old Trafford, and The Oval are the venues for the remaining four Tests of the series.

This series also marks the beginning of the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for India, adding to the importance of the tour. The team will be eager to bounce back after suffering successive Test series defeats previously against New Zealand at home and Australia in Australia.

That said, it is also the start of a new era as the team will be in a transition period. While it will be challenging, it also presents a new opportunity for Shubman Gill, who is set to lead the Test team for the very first time after being handed the responsibility.
