On Shreyas Iyer' Test Omission, Gautam Gambhir Makes Fresh Claim: "Always About..."
India have announced an 18-member squad for the five-match Test series against England, starting from June 20. A few high-profile names missed out on the squad, with batter Shreyas Iyer arguably being the most notable one. Shreyas has been in a rich vein of form, performing exceedingly well in both ODI and T20 cricket of late. Speaking on his omission, Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir had initially stated that he wasn't the selector. However, now Gambhir has said that the doors are open for good performers. "Anyone can be called if they are in good form. We can only pick 18. But I believe it's always about being open to people who are in good form and can deliver," Gambhir told reporters in Mumbai on Thursday. Earlier, when asked about Shreyas not being picked, Gambhir had responded saying "I'm not the selector". On the other hand, here's what BCCI chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar had said on Shreyas Iyer at the squad announcement: "Yes, Shreyas Iyer has played well in domestic cricket, but at the moment, there is no room for him in the Test Team." Shreyas Iyer has enjoyed a superb 2025 so far. The 30-year-old was India's top run-scorer as the nation won the Champions Trophy 2025. Following that, Iyer lived up to the expectations of a Rs 26.75 crore Indian Premier League (IPL) contract, taking Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the IPL 2025 final. Shreyas was also the franchise's top run-scorer, smashing 604 runs in 17 matches at an astonishing strike rate of 175. Cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson will now have a special place in the India-England Test rivalry, as the two boards, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) have decided to name the Test series between the two countries the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, as per ESPNcricinfo. The new trophy will be officially unveiled by Tendulkar and Anderson at Lord's during the World Test Championship (WTC) final, which begins on June 11. This change comes just ahead of the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, with India and England set to play a five-match Test series starting June 20 at Headingley in Leeds. Previously, the Test series in England was known as the Pataudi Trophy, named after former India captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi. When the series was played in India, it was called the Anthony de Mello Trophy, in honour of one of the BCCI's founding members and its first secretary and president.

KL Rahul smashes century in first match after landing in England, all but cements position as opener for 1st India Test
KL Rahul announces his arrival in England with a style by hitting a sublime century against England Lions in the 2nd unofficial Test. Rahul, who is raring to prove himself once again, all but put a stamp on his place as an opener for the upcoming Test series with a 151-ball century for India A on Day 1 after the Tea break. The star batter joined India A after the first match and straightaway made an impact with a fine knock. Rahul once again showed maturity with the bat when India lost two early wickets - Yashasvi Jaiswal (17) and Abhimanyu Easwaran (11), who returned to the pavilion early. Rahul stabilised the innings alongside his fellow IPL teammate Karun Nair as the duo shared an 86-run stand for the third wicket. Nair, who scored a brilliant double century in the first unofficial Test, was dismissed on 40 off 71 balls. The 33-year-old continued to hold one end and kept going to put India in a solid position with a fine century, which was embellished with 13 fours and 1 six. He put the foot on the accelerator after scoring fifty and reached century at a rapid pace to make a statement. Rahul faces a tough task of stepping into Rohit Sharma's shoes at the top, but the assurance of a settled batting position in the line-up could do wonders for his confidence. In India's last Test series, where they played Australia Down Under, Rahul started as an opener in the first Test and continued to bat there for the first three matches but was pushed down to number 3 for the Boxing Day Test. He was once again reinstated as opener in the final clash. Over the past couple of years, the 33-year-old had to adapt to a middle-order role in the absence of Rishabh Pant, who was sidelined from competitive cricket following a serious car accident. Meanwhile, his knock on Friday would be a sigh of relief for head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Shubman Gill to solve the opening conundrum ahead of the Test series. Earlier in the match, Chris Woakes marked his return from injury with an impressive new-ball spell, claiming both early wickets in the morning session of the first Test against India at Leeds. Leading England's pace attack, Woakes struck by trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal LBW with a sharp in-seamer. He nearly dismissed Abhimanyu Easwaran off the very first ball, but a dropped catch in the slips gave the opener a brief lifeline. However, Woakes soon produced another brilliant delivery which nipped back in and hit the timber. In the second session, he claimed the crucial wicket of Nair by trapping him front of the wicket.
