With the IPL 2025 nearing its end, all attention now shifts to Team India's England Test series, beginning next month. The tour will mark India's first without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who recently retired. The series will also mark the start of India's campaign in the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. The squad announcement is likely to come out this Saturday, and here are three probable alterations from the team last playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Key Squad Changes India Could Make Ahead of England Tests Gill Expected to Take Lead Team India As Rohit Sharma has retired, India requires a new Test captain. Shubman Gill is the front-runner. He's already vice-captain in ODIs and is regarded as a long-term leader. Though Jasprit Bumrah's name was also on the radar, the team management is concerned about his fitness. Keeping that in mind, Gill can become India's new Test skipper. Also Read | 7 Legal Balls in One Over in IPL? Here's What Happened New Faces from IPL Likely to Join Team India The last two Test series were the nightmares for India. Team India lost both home and away series against New Zealand and Australia respectively. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series in Australia, while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli called it a day ahead of the upcoming Test series in England. Now, selectors are eyeing IPL 2025 performers to replace their positions. One such player is Sai Sudharsan from Gujarat Titans. He has scored 638 runs in 13 innings and is currently leading the Orange Cap race. He is potentially looking to replace Virat Kohli in the Test team. Another name being considered is Anshul Kamboj, CSK's young fast bowler. The selectors are eyeing him following the poor performance of Harshit Rana and Akash Deep in the recent series. It is reported that Kamboj is most likely to be selected for the England tour. Left-arm pacer of Punjab Kings, Arshdeep Singh is also among the names that are in the consideration.

Karun Nair, who scored a triple century in 2016 but has not played for India since 2017, may be in line for a comeback. He had an extraordinary domestic season in 2024–25, aggregating 863 runs from 9 matches, including four hundreds. His good form could get him into the team again. India's Test squad will be quite different when they travel to England. There will a new captain, new young faces, and possibly even some return of experience names in the making. The announcement on Saturday will confirm the final decision.
