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.
