India tour of England: Shubman Gill's new-era team ready for England test; Pujara and Nehra reveal key to success
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal
Former Indian cricketers offered advice to the Shubman Gill-led Indian cricket team for their upcoming five-Test series in England, with Michael Vaughan suggesting this tour could mark "something special" for the visitors.
The guidance comes as India undergoes a transition phase following the retirements of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin, while Mohammed Shami was not selected for the touring squad.
Cheteshwar Pujara
emphasized the importance of adapting to English conditions for success.
"India's team to England must adapt quickly and play (according) to the conditions. As someone who understands batting in English conditions and team dynamics, I believe discipline, patience and support for each other are crucial.
Every player will need to contribute and respect the challenges that lay ahead. I am sure this tour will be a great opportunity for the growth and success of each player and the team as a whole," Pujara told Sony Sports, the official broadcaster.

Irfan Pathan
, former India all-rounder, stressed the importance of quick adaptation for the team's success.
"India's new squad faces a tough challenge in England, but as an all-rounder, I know adaptability is key. Gill's leadership, Pant's energy, and India's young talent must step up. England's conditions test every skill — swing, seam, and temperament. If India's players adapt quickly and stay united, they can surprise England, just as we've seen in the past with new teams rising to the occasion."
Quiz:
Who's that IPL player?
Michael Vaughan, former England captain, spoke about India's decision to appoint 25-year-old Gill as Test captain.
"Well, it's official —
Shubman Gill
is the new face of Indian Test cricket, stepping up as captain for the England series. It's a bold move, trusting a young leader with a new-look team after the retirements of giants like Rohit and Kohli. Gill has got plenty to prove, especially away from home, but he has shown (that) he has got the temperament for big moments. With
Rishabh Pant
as his deputy and a squad hungry to make their mark, this England tour could be the start of something special for India's next generation. Don't be surprised if these youngsters rise to the occasion."
