Shastri Calls For GT Opener Sudharsan's Inclusion In India’s Squad For England Tests

By IANS News May 02, 2025 • 13:48 PM View: 571

ICC World Test Championship: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has called for the inclusion of Gujarat Titans' opener Sai Sudharsan in India’s squad for the upcoming five-match Test series in England, following the 23-year-old’s standout show in the ongoing IPL 2025.

Sudarshan has accumulated over 456 runs in nine matches in IPL 2025 and is a strong contender for an orange cap, sitting behind the leader Suryakumar Yadav (475 runs in 11 games) of Mumbai Indians. The southpaw has smashed five half-centuries, playing a pivotal role in helping the Titans maintain their position in the top four as the league stage enters its final two weeks.

Speaking on the latest episode of The ICC Review, Shastri threw his support behind Sudharsan, who has played three ODIs for India but is yet to make a Test debut and called him a future all-format player for India.
