The Indian cricket team's tour of England will start on June 20. The team selection for this can be done on 23 or 24 May. A 5-match Test series will be played on the tour. The Indian team will have to choose a new captain for this series. Because Rohit Sharma recently announced his retirement from Tests. BCCI will also choose a new captain in his place. Shubman Gill's name is at the forefront in the race for the new captain. But former England captain Michael Vaughan says that if he were the BCCI, he would have sent Virat Kohli as the captain on the England tour. Vaughan said that in England, he would have seen Shubman Gill as the vice-captain. Virat Kohli has made up his mind to retire from Tests.

He has also talked to the BCCI for this, but the Indian board has asked Virat to think again on this. Michael Vaughan wrote on Instagram, 'If I were India, I would hand over the captaincy to Virat for the Test series in England.. Shubman Gill can be his vice-captain for this tour.' Michael Vaughan knows what kind of conditions the Indian team is going to get in England. That's why he is talking about making an experienced player like Virat the captain. BCCI is also probably thinking about Virat. The board also wants Virat to go to England as captain, where Gill will get a chance to gain experience under his captaincy. But Virat is probably not ready to become the captain.
