The Indian cricket fraternity is abuzz with anticipation, as per India Today, the national selection panel gears up to convene on January 30 to deliberate on the squad composition for the remaining three Tests against England. With India trailing 0-1 in the series following a narrow defeat in Hyderabad, the stakes are high for the home team, led by Rohit Sharma, to stage a comeback after England’s dramatic triumph at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Despite the setback, the panel is expected to maintain continuity in selection while making strategic adjustments. Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, and Sourabh Kumar have been called up for the second Test in Visakhapatnam, showcasing promising potential after impressive performances.

However, the injury setbacks to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja pose selection challenges. While Rahul grapples with a hamstring injury, Jadeja faces issues with his right quadriceps, necessitating replacements for the upcoming fixture.

Speculation looms large over the potential return of Virat Kohli for the latter part of the series, following his absence citing ‘personal reasons’. The selectors’ decision regarding Kohli’s inclusion will be closely watched, adding intrigue to the team dynamics.

As the selection panel deliberates, questions linger over the roles of Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara, with Mohammed Shami’s unavailability further complicating matters. With the series set to resume in Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamsala, India seeks to regroup and assert dominance against a resolute English side.
