New Delhi: Team India Squad Announcement, The Indian team has been announced for the five-match Test series against England starting next month. The selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 18-member team. Along with this, the new captain of India's Test team has also been announced, as regular captain Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket earlier this month. In such a situation, now the new Test captain of the team will be Shubman Gill, whose tenure is going to start from next month. At the same time, Rishabh Pant has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin are no longer part of the Test team, as Ashwin announced his retirement during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, while earlier this month Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also announced their retirement from this format of the game. This is the reason why you will also see some new faces in this team, while the old players have returned. The oldest name among them is Karun Nair, who is the second batsman to score a triple century for India in Test cricket. India's Test team is as follows
Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akashdeep, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav

Not saying this is my last Classical event: Carlsen after title win
STAVANGER (Norway): Minutes after surviving a final day thriller to stand top of the leaderboard, Magnus Carlsen was coy when asked if he would continue playing Classical chess. 'It's a huge relief after a day like this and in a tournament like this," he told TakeTakeTake. "My struggles have been well documented here. At least I fought till the end, I'm happy with that." Asked if he was going to keep playing classical chess, Carlsen said: 'Not a lot for sure. I'm not going to say this tournament was my last. I enjoy other forms of chess more.' How he prevailed to pocket his seventh Norway Chess title may be made into a movie in time. On a day of high drama, Carlsen and Gukesh, separated by 0.5 points before the last and final round on Friday, were under pressure for vast swathes of their respective games against Arjun Erigaisi and Fabiano Caruana respectively. Gukesh knew he could ill afford a loss as he was trailing. So, he soldiered on, even in an almost lost position. But he knew he could win the tournament because Erigaisi had put the World No. 1 under tremendous pressure for over three hours and change. But once Erigaisi made small inaccuracies, the Norwegian suddenly engineered big counter play chances for himself. When he had the one winning move staring at him in the endgame, he didn't find it. The eval bar restored parity and they repeated their moves three times, signalling a draw. The 34-year-old, who has time and again said that he finds Classical chess a chore, would have likely pushed on for a win if the Indian world champion, Gukesh, was not in a terrible position. But moments after Carlsen and Erigaisi called truce, Caruana blundered and Gukesh had chances of winning the tournament. But under severe time pressure and having defended so resolutely for so long, he jumped at the chance of queening his d pawn rather than holding on to his position. Once he queened, the US player pressed his knight into service to set up a deadly fork. It was game over. The 19-year-old knew the game was up with seconds left on the clock. The defeat in Classical also means that Gukesh will finish third in the standings, a mixed bag of a tournament.

Norway Chess: Late blow for Gukesh as Carlsen triumphs
STAVANGER: Magnus Carlsen is the Norway Chess champion for a seventh time after D Gukesh made a big blunder at the end of his game against Fabiano Caruana. On a day of high drama, Carlsen and Gukesh, separated by 0.5 points before the last and final round on Friday, were under pressure for large parts of their respective games against Arjun Erigaisi and Caruana respectively. Gukesh knew he could ill-afford a loss as he was trailing. So, he soldiered on, even in an almost lost position. But he knew he could win the tournament because Erigaisi had put the World No 1 under tremendous pressure for over three hours and change.

Scott Boland in dark about his spot in Australia's playing XI for WTC final
London [UK], June 6 (ANI): Australia's seasoned quick Scott Boland is still in the dark about his potential appearance in the World Test Championship final against South Africa on Tuesday at the Lord's, a venue where he would 'love' to play. With match figures of 5/105, the 36-year-old was one of Australia's premier pacers when they lifted their maiden WTC mace at The Oval in 2023 against India. He boosted his credentials against India by scalping 21 wickets in three appearances as Australia celebrated its first Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph in a decade. Despite his exploits, Boland has found himself in a neck-to-neck battle with IPL-winning seamer Josh Hazlewood for one spot in the defending champions' pace setup against the Proteas. With less than a week left for the enticing contest, Boland has yet to receive the green light from the selectors about his spot in the playing XI. 'I haven't had any chats with them (selectors). My goal coming into the last two months is just to get myself and my body in the position where I can put my hand up and be ready to go if it (selection) goes my way,' Boland said in London on Thursday, as quoted from ICC. 'I probably felt like back into the Shield season (Australian domestic red-ball competition), my knee was sort of not wearing away but wasn't going how I wanted it to go and didn't feel like I was bowling how I wanted, but now I feel like I'm in a really good spot that I can bowl how I want to bowl. It's pulling up really well, so that's all I can do, and I just want to make that decision (for selectors) as hard as possible,' he added. Boland snuck his first training session with Australia on Wednesday while Hazlewood linked up with the team in London after his title-winning campaign with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The 36-year-old is aware of the carnage that a fully fit Hazlewood can inflict on the opposition. However, he pushed his case by citing his recent stellar performances for Australia in the Test format. 'I feel like I had a couple of really strong games (during the Border-Gavaskar series), but Josh is obviously a world-class bowler. He's one of the best bowlers in the world, coming off a really good IPL, so I'm sure he'll be doing the same thing here (to push his case for selection). Obviously, we all want to play, but there's probably not room for all of us,' Boland said. If Boland earns a spot in Australia's playing XI, he will make his first appearance at the iconic Lord's. For him, it will be a 'pretty special' moment to bowl at the 'Home of Cricket'. 'I'd love to play at Lord's. I think everyone's looking forward to getting there for training in a few days' time and then getting to the game, as it's a pretty special place for cricket,' he added. (ANI)
