Dropped For England Tests, Star Batter Scores 101 In Intra-Squad Match
Last Updated: Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a duck, Sarfaraz Khan retired after a hundred in India's intra-squad game. Star India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a duck, whereas Sarfaraz Khan was retired out after scoring a hundred in India's intra-squad game in Beckenham on Saturday, June 14, according to a report in The Indian Express. The team is gearing up for a gruelling five-match Test series against England, starting June 20 in Leeds. While BCCI had informed on Friday that KL Rahul and skipper Shubman Gill had scored half-centuries on Day 1 of the game, with Shardul Thakur being among the wickets, no such update was provided on Saturday. BCCI although posted a bunch of pictures from the game on the day, where Ravindra Jadeja was seen bowling with Sarfaraz on the crease, and most importantly, ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah was also seen bowling. Just a few blokes enjoying a game of red-ball cricket 🏏 — BCCI (@BCCI) June 14, 2025 The report adds that Abhimanyu Easwaran scored 39, Sai Sudharsan scored just one run less, Washington Sundar batted twice to score a duck and 35, Ishan Kishan was unbeaten on 45, while Shardul was 19*. If Sundar was given two chances to bat, it can be expected that the Indian team management is looking to give him a spot in the XI, which can be achieved only by benching Jadeja. Earlier, pacer Prasidh Krishna said that he has learned to 'switch on" according to the team's requirements and is now looking to carry his rich Indian Premier League form on to the tour of England. Having come back from a long injury layoff, Prasidh displayed excellent form in IPL 2025 and emerged as the league's highest wicket-taker and the winner of the Purple Cap. Prasidh is now chuffed about the five-match Test series against England, beginning at Leeds on June 20, for which the touring party is engaged in an intra-squad game in Beckenham. '(You have to) make sure you are focused when your chance is coming. But you can't be focused for a long time, especially when you are sitting outside, so you make sure you have a bit of fun," Prasidh said while speaking to BCCI. 'When you know you can sense the situation, you make sure you support your team in particular situations, making sure you are being switched on because anything can happen in the game," Prasidh added.

Earlier on 4 June, a stampede took place in M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the Royal Challengers Bangalore's maiden IPL trophy victory celebrations. In the event, 11 people were killed and several were injured. The BCCI in its Apex Council meeting decided to establish a Working Group comprising five 'Umpire Coaches' to oversee the development of umpires and enhance their on-field performance. All these 'Umpire Coaches' must possess international umpiring experience and have served as former umpires. Also, the Apex Council has decided to form a Working Group consisting of three former match referees. They would be responsible for monitoring the development of match referees and providing them with opportunities to improve their performance in cricket matches. Among others, the BCCI's Apex Council confirmed the venues for India's upcoming white-ball home series against New Zealand, scheduled to be held in early 2026.
