After the ongoing IPL 2025 season, the Indian players will travel to England for a five-match Test series against the host nation. As Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from Tests, India are gearing up to face the Three Lions with a relatively inexperienced squad. 

Having said that, the visitors could seriously think to pick three in-form IPL 2025 players, who can certainly strengthen their team for the England tour, as explained below.

  • Ability to swing the new ball: Arshdeep Singh is currently one of India's finest swing bowlers. English conditions traditionally aid in swing bowling, as the fast bowlers are required to make the most of the Dukes ball by pitching it up. Being a swing bowler, Arshdeep can adjust to the conditions and get his line and length right in a quick time. 
  • Left-arm angle: India haven't found a reliable left-arm seamer in Tests since Zaheer Khan's retirement. The England tour gives them the perfect opportunity to test Arshdeep and make him a regular in the purest format. 
  • Familiarity with English conditions: Arshdeep has previously played in England, having represented Kent in the 2023 County Championship. Thus, his ability to swing, left-arm angle and familiarity with the conditions will be beneficial for the Indian team.

2. B Sai Sudharsan

Why Could India Pick B Sai Sudharsan For England Tour?

  • To fill top-order vacancy: Recently, talismanic Indian batter Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket. As Rohit used to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal, a vacancy has been created at the top-order of India's Test lineup. 
  • Solid technique: B Sai Sudharsan is one of the most technically-equipped Indian players in the domestic circuit. His ability to play the ball late and through the square could make him an asset for India in English conditions. 
  • Red-hot batting form: Sai Sudharsan has enjoyed stellar success in the IPL 2025, amassing 509 runs in eleven innings. Before that, he exhibited remarkable batting prowess in the Ranji Trophy, amassing 304 runs across four innings at a prolific average of 76. 

3. Prasidh Krishna

Why Could India Pick Prasidh Krishna For England Tour?

  • Magnificent form in IPL 2025: Prasidh Krishna has showcased exemplary form in the IPL 2025. Representing Gujarat Titans, Krishna has bagged 20 wickets in eleven innings at a superb strike rate of twelve. 
  • Adds a different dimension to bowling attack: Prasidh Krishna, being a proper high-pace hit-the-deck (HTD) bowler, can enrich the Indian pace battery by adding a different dimension to it. His ability to surprise the batters with high-quality HTD stuff makes him a potent weapon for India on English decks, which have been placid to back England's Bazball strategy in recent years.
