Yudhvir Singh, a seasoned administrator with the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA), has been named the manager of the Indian cricket team for the crucial tour of England, set to begin in Leeds on June 20. Currently serving on the UPCA Board of Directors, Yudhvir has previously held significant roles such as secretary and director, bringing a wealth of experience to his newfound responsibility.
The spotlight is firmly on Team India as they gear up for their England campaign, with Shubman Gill making his debut as captain and Rishabh Pant stepping in as vice-captain. The duo carries the weight of expectations as they aim to lead the team to glory on English soil. How they handle the pressure will be a fascinating subplot throughout the series.
While rumors swirled about KL Rahul potentially stepping in for Gill in the second warm-up match against England Lions in Northampton, Yudhvir Singh dismissed such speculations, stating he hadn’t been informed of any changes to the squad.
“No Updates Received Yet,” Says Senior Administrator
“I haven’t received any updates on this matter yet. Once the Indian Premier League (IPL) concludes, we’ll assess if there are any alterations to the team lineup,” the senior official shared with Sportstar.
Aside from the leadership changes, the series will also mark the return of Karun Nair to the national squad after a lengthy hiatus. Nair recently made waves with a stunning double century for India A against England Lions, proving his mettle ahead of the tour. The inclusion of Arshdeep Singh and Sai Sudharsan adds an intriguing dimension to the squad, with both players bringing valuable experience from their stints in English county cricket.
As the countdown to the England series heats up, fans are eager to see how the Indian team’s fresh leadership and returning stars fare on the international stage. Stay tuned for what promises to be an enthralling cricketing spectacle.
