Karun Nair:The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally announced the squad for the highly anticipated tour of England. Among the major talking points were the fate of Indian captain Rohit Sharma and the exclusion of middle-order batter Karun Nair. While Rohit continues to lead the team, Nair’s absence has raised several questions among cricket fans. Let’s take a closer look at the selection decisions and what they mean for Team India.
Rohit Sharma: India’s Trusted Leader
Rohit Sharma, India’s seasoned opener and captain, has been retained as the leader of the squad. This decision reaffirms the selectors’ confidence in his leadership, experience, and ability to perform in challenging overseas conditions.
Rohit has been instrumental in India’s success across formats, particularly in Test cricket. His ability to bat patiently and adapt to different conditions makes him a key asset on the England tour. Despite some concerns over his recent form, the selectors believe that his experience in English conditions will be vital for India’s chances.

Karun Nair: A Missed Opportunity?
While Rohit’s inclusion was expected, the absence of Karun Nair has raised eyebrows. The Karnataka batter, known for his historic triple century against England in 2016, has been knocking on the selectors’ doors with strong domestic performances. However, despite his impressive form in the domestic circuit, Nair has been overlooked once again.
This omission highlights the tough competition for places in the Indian team. With players like Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer already fighting.
