The Indian squad for the Test series against England next month is set to be named in May, sources in the BCCI said. The Test series will be a key event in India's international cricket calendar, and there are eager eyes waiting to see who will get picked.

England Test Series:

The selection panel is keeping a close eye on the form of players in the current IPL 2025 season and some recent domestic games. The final squad will be decided based on these performances. As part of team preparation, India will also host a practice match behind closed doors prior to the start of the series. This will acclimatize the players to match conditions without any public or media distractions.

Particular attention will be paid to such key roles as opening batsmen and bowlers, given the expected prominent role that such players will play in English conditions. Senior players' fitness levels will also be assessed, particularly those recovering from injury.

Young players who have performed well in recent tournaments can also be looked at for selection. But the final team will be based on a lot of factors, such as current form, fitness, and the overall strategy of the team for the England tour.

The formal announcement will be made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in May. Cricket fans and pundits are following closely the news from the board and trusted sources such as Cricbuzz.
