Il primo test tra Inghilterra e India inizierà il 20 giugno e la serie si concluderà dopo il quinto test (31 luglio).
The upcoming England series will see the beginning of a new era for Indian Test cricket. With stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma now retired from the format, the BCCI is set to unveil a fresh-look squad and a new leadership group for the high-profile five-Test tour.

As anticipation builds, here’s everything you need to know about the squad announcement, captaincy contenders, and how to follow the developments live.
