Since the appointment of Shubman Gill as Test captain, cricket fans have started drawing comparisons with Rohit Sharma. Clarke stated that the retirements of Rohit and Virat Kohli have left a huge void in the Indian team, but that doesn`t mean a new captain is the worst thing for India

Former Australian cricketer, Michael Clarke, feels that Team India is in the safe hands and has enough talent to defeat England in the upcoming Test series. India will lock horns against England for a five-match Test series, starting from June 20 at the Yorkshire Cricket Ground.
"I also saw no Shami(Mohammed) in the squad as well. I think him missing the Australian series was huge, and if he and a fit Bumrah was in Australia then it would have been a very different series. But then India has huge talent. You know, I think talent-wise, India will always be in safe hands. It`s just how soon can some of these players make a mark in this series. Five test matches in England is tough, tough cricket, and they need to be conscious of that," Clarke told Revsportz.
Additionally, lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah will not feature in all five matches. Considering his workload management, Team India`s think tank will likely make him play only three Tests.
