BCCI is set to announce the Indian Test team for the England series today (May 24). The Indian team will be taking on England for a five-match Test series, which starts from June 20.

As the Indian cricket's apex body announced that the squad will be picked today, a lot of key names are in focus.

After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket, a huge void needs to be filled. Shubman Gill is likely to be appointed as captain while Rishabh Pant may remain a deputy.

Mohammed Shami is likely to miss out due to fitness concerns, paving the way for fresher pace options to partner with lead bowler Jasprit Bumrah. The middle order will see young contenders like Sarfaraz Khan and Karun Nair get extended runs, while Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav could be crucial in the spin department.

England, led by Ben Stokes and coached by Brendon McCullum, are set to mount a serious challenge. With an aggressive brand of cricket, their squad is expected to be full strength. The likes of Jacob Bethell are expected to return, while Jofra Archer's injury remains a setback.

Currently, the India A team's squad for the England series has been announced and players such as Abhimanyu Easwaran and Akash Deep can be named from there as well. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are also supposed to join the India A team after the first of the two four-day matches, which starts from May 30.

As the Indian selectors pick the team for the crucial England series, the buzz has ben there among the fans despite the IPL season. The squad will be announced from 1:30 pm IST today (Saturday, May 24).
