No Kuldeep Yadav! Ravi Shastri names his Indian XI for first test against England

Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has named his Indian XI for the first test against England. The five-match Test series between the two teams will be beginning from 20th June and will be part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle as well. 

Ravi Shastri, who is rated as one of the best coaches in Indian cricket, has snubbed Kuldeep Yadav from his playing XI for the first test and has picked four pacers in his team in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and one among Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh. 

In the batting department, it was a no-brainer that he picked Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul to open the innings. The duo will be holding the key for the side in the series and were highly successful in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 as a pair. 

Sai Sudharsan, according to him, will bat at three while Shubman Gill will be taking the four position. Karun Nair, who will be making his comeback after eight years, will be there, followed by Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja.
