India Test Squad For Five-match England Tour Likely To Be Announced On May 24: Sources
Kolkata Knight Riders IPL: India’s squad for the upcoming five-match Test tour of England is likely to be announced on May 24, said sources to IANS. India will begin their tour of England with the series opener at Headingley on June 20 and is followed by matches at Edgbaston, Lord’s, Old Trafford, and The Oval.
It is also believed that chief selector Ajit Agarkar could announce the squad in a press conference on the same day in Mumbai. “There has been some confusion on whether the squad would come out on May 24 or 25. But the last time, it was heard that May 24 is the likely date of men’s Test squad announcement and also the unveiling of the new Test skipper,” further said sources to IANS.
The Test squad was to be selected earlier by the Agarkar-led selection committee, but it was deferred by two weeks due to Rohit Sharma quitting the format with immediate effect and Virat Kohli soon following him into retirement from the longest format.
