@ESPNcricinfo New Zealand, just because they have settled side while England are missing out their first choice team.

Although, England is capable enough to beat any side, I still do not see them winning today.

As much as it seems like it is a right call to drop @surya_14kumar , he deserved a chance to prove himself solely as a batter.

The flak that #Gill or the pace bowlers are getting is slightly hurtful. If you look at the numbers, India had England only if they would have taken half of the chances created on the field. Dropped catches=dropped matches.

@Devu_98 I agree, given the buzz that is going on, Gill wi be captain. But we should not forget Bumrah who leaf tremendously in Australia and should be ahead of everyone to lead the side. And if they feel like Bumrah can play atleast 4 match in a series, he should be the leading candidate

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

If #Gill becomes captain, he is moving down to no.4 and #SaiSudarshan is coming in.
This is how my playing XI looks like in England:
Jaiswal
Rahul
Sai
Gill(C)
Pant(wk)
Nitish/Karun
Jadeja
Thakur
Shami
Bumrah
Siraj

Why is Shami not in India A squad to get his rhythm back? He has not looked like his past self since the comeback from injury. A game or 2 before a big England series might have helped him.

who will bat at 3, be it Sai or Rahul if Abhimanyu performs well and Rahul is asked to move down the order.

India A team selected for England tour gives the glimpse of who team is looking for at no.6. It is straight shoot out between Dhruv Jurel, Karun Nair and Nitish Reddy.
Captaincy is still in doubt, but given that Sai is coming in to play 2nd match, it will give us clear idea about

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

@Devu_98 As much as we would like to make him captain his peformances are not consistent enough. Even Gill is not certain, but if he plays at 4 going forward he can be better.
Although my first choice captain would be Bumrah, his workload has to be managed.

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

Your contribution will mever go in vain, and the youngsters would carry forward your DNA that ypu built for the team and be the best team going forward.
Thank You for being the greatest embassador of the format the world has ever seen.

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

The man who not only created a winning mindset in the team but also made everyone sit and watch the test matches bringing out his passion and true enthusiasm for the truest form of the game!
While we waited for the last peak of yours, you chose to walk away silently.

#Ayushmhatre becomes the second player to play IPL being born after it's inception. First being #vaibhavsuryavanshi yesterday.
Crazy how the eras change and new generation is taking over #IPL by storm.

Is this the youngest top 3 #CSK has ever played?

The most important clutch player in the #IndianCricket white ball setup is #HardikPandya
He has never ever not delivered in a crunch situation.
Preserving him is the most important task. #ChampionsTrophy2025 #CT25 #ViratKohli𓃵

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

I hope @BCCI holds a farewell event for @ashwinravi99
One of the greatest minds of cricket deserves this snd Indian fans desreve to see him going out with all his achievements shown at one place.

@RichKettle07 Play domestic cricket.

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

#Rahul has been so inconsistent this series. Averaging only 30 at the end just shows why he has not been able to cement his place in the team. 2 great innings at Perth and Gabba. Apart from that, he has been disappointing.

The day India and Pakistan start playing #TestCricket again (neutral venue) It can garner more attention than #BorderGavaskarTrophy
But this is a pinnacle of cricket at the moment. And I am all for it.

[Hritvik Patel @hritvikpatel]

What an over by #Siraj
Sent back Konstas and Head in a span of 4 balls. Bumrah created the pressure, and Siraj also kept bowling on that channel and tested the batters.

#Sachin will always be the God of cricket. #Kohli came as close to him as anyone could but still remains the landmark of achievements among the batters.
