Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Indian squad for the first two tests
- Kishan messed up due to recent drama where he took things for granted, now he is advised to play Ranji.
- Pant is still doing rehab i guess, 3 wk for the home series seems funny. On turning tracks KL might not keep well, maybe that's why they opted for an extra keeper.
Most of the players in the squad that India announced for the first 2 Test matches against England are regulars and the best players in the India team. Since the game is against England, the Indian Cricket Board has not announced the team by resting any player. We can easily guess which 11 players will play in the starting XI from the squad that India announced for the Test against England. If we make a XI from this team, there may be two changes to the official XI of India, but most of the players will remain in the original XI, which is the XI that we have already considered. - Kishan messed up due to recent drama where he took things for granted, now he is advised to play Ranji.

Test series against England is always challenging for India and the upcoming Test series is a big challenge for India. Considering India's good performance in all the series till the series against England, India can dream of another series win.
