Gill's grooming for all-format captaincy to be set in motion
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|August 20, 2025
WHILE everyone who follows Indian cricket knew it was only a matter of time before Shubman Gill was eased into the T20I set up, the selectors and team management put an end to the debate, naming the Test captain as Suryakumar Yadav's deputy for the upcoming Men's T20 Asia Cup.
In the lead up to the meeting, there were speculations as to how Gill might not make the team just yet and could be in the scheme of things after the T20 World Cup next year. However, it is clear now that the BCCI wants to groom Gill to take over in all three formats as captain.
Earlier this year, he was named as Rohit Sharma's deputy in the Champions Trophy.
