The India tour of England, which begins on June 20, has been a topic of major discussion following the retirements of two legendary cricketers. The absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the team’s roster has raised serious questions regarding captaincy and suitable replacements in the batting lineup. Sharing his views on India’s prospects in the five-Test series, former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar stressed the significance of the first two matches.
While speaking to IANS, Vengsarkar said: “We have a very good and capable team. India also has a good chance, and the first two Tests will be crucial—it will largely determine how the team performs in the remaining matches of the five-Test series. I believe new players may emerge during this series, and I am hopeful that India will perform well.”
“They have the platform to showcase their worth”—Dilip Vengsarkar on India’s U19 Squad for England Tour
In addition to Test cricket, Vengsarkar also spoke about the selection of the India U19 squad for the tour, which includes some standout emerging talents from IPL 2025. With the absence of two experienced senior players, young and rising performers from the IPL have earned their spots in the U19 team for the England tour.
“It is very good that Ayush Mhatre, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and Abhigyan Kundu have been named in the India U19 squad for the England tour. I’ve seen Kundu, who is from Mumbai, playing; he is a very good player, a good keeper, and a good thinker also. I have high hopes for him to perform well on the England tour. They have the platform to showcase their worth,” said Vengsarkar.
