With seasoned campaigners Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin having bid adieu to the format, the spotlight now firmly rests on a new generation hungry to create their own legacy.

In a video shared by the BCCI on Thursday, head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Gill addressed the squad in a pre-training huddle and laid out their vision for the England series, which will mark the beginning of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for both teams.

Gambhir first welcomed newcomers Sai Sudharsan and Arshdeep Singh to the senior squad.
