"Really Important For All Of Us To...": Prasidh Krishna Sets Record Straight Ahead Of India vs England Test Series
India pacer Prasidh Krishna says he has learned to "switch on" as per the team's requirements and is now looking to carry his rich IPL form on to the tour of England. Having come back from a long injury layoff, Prasidh displayed excellent form in the IPL 2025, and emerged as the league's highest wicket-taker and the winner of the Purple Cap. He is now chuffed about the five-match Test series against England, beginning at Leeds on June 20, for which the touring party is currently engaged in an intra-squad match here. "(You have to) make sure you are focussed when your chance is coming. But you can't really be focussed for a long time, especially when you are sitting outside, so you make sure you have a bit of fun. "When you know you can sense situation, you make sure you support your team at particular situations, making sure you are being switched on because anything can happen in the game, that's the beauty of cricket in itself. "I think all of us are experienced to know when you must switch on and switch off," Prasidh told BCCI TV. He has come back to cricketing action reinvigorated after a long and frustrating wait on the sidelines due to recurrent injuries, which also forced him to go under the knife. One of Gujarat Titans' most influential players in the last IPL, Prasidh said the game time in UK before the big Test series will benefit the team immensely, as players from different franchises and state sides converge for a common cause with the Indian team. "It's really important for all of us to get this game time... because some of them are coming form the 'A' game. Getting some time on field is really important. That's what has happened today as well. "Looks like a good, nice, hard pitch. Bowlers have been in the game all throughout, have been bowling some really good spells. Batsmen also showed some character. It's always good when you are competing against each other as well. "All of us are excited and enjoying what's happening... All of us are getting together after a while, so a lot memories, a lot of cricket each one has played with different teams, coming here, have spent a lot of time before... just try and make sure you keep the environment light," he said after the opening day's play on Friday. As per an update by the BCCI, skipper Shubman Gill and senior player KL Rahul scored half-centuries, while Shardul Thakur was among the wickets on the first day of the match.

Gautam Gambhir's Special Message For 'Comeback Man' Karun Nair Ahead Of England Tests
The India men's cricket team will begin a new Test era under captain Shubman Gill against England. Batter Karun Nair earned a Test call-up for India after more than seven years. India head coach Gautam Gambhir hailed Nair for his "never giving up" attitude. The India men's cricket team is all set to kick-start a new era in the Test format, under the leadership of young captain Shubman Gill. The entire cricket fraternity was taken by surprise after skipper Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Test cricket. The selection committee then appointed Gill as the new captain, who will begin his tenure with the upcoming five-match Test series against England, starting from June 20 in Leeds. In this series, some players earned their maiden Test call-up as Team India in entering a new phase. Batter Sai Sudharsan, who impressed everyone with his fiery batting performances in the IPL and also in the domestic cricket was named in the Test squad against England. Similarly, pacer Arshdeep SIngh, who has widely contributed for India in the white-ball format, has finally earned his maiden call-up in the red-ball format. Welcoming the youngsters in the team, India head coach Gautam Gambhir wished the duo a lot of success in the whites for India. "First Test calls are always very special, so I want to welcome Sai (Sudharsan), who had a fabulous last three months. Make sure you have a very very successful red-ball career. I want to welcome Arshdeep (Singh), you've been phenomenal with white ball cricket, I am sure, with a red-ball in your hand, you will make it count," said Gambhir in a video posted on BCCI TV. Apart from the maiden call-ups, veteran batter Karun Nair also returned to India's Test setup after a hiatus of more than seven years. "Guys, lastly, comebacks are never easy. Someone who made a comeback after 7 years. Had a phenomenal last year, the amount of runs you scored. Most importantly, that never die attitude, never giving up attitude got you in the team. That is something which is inspiring for this entire group," said Gambhir. "I want to congratulate Shubman as well. There is no bigger honour in the country to lead your Test team. Congratulations. Rishabh as well, who is part of the leadership group now. Well done," he added.
