Gambhir's Return Uncertain Ahead of England Test

India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has returned home from England following his mother's heart attack and her admission to the ICU, and his return ahead of the first Test against England on June 20 in Leeds will depend on her recovery. In his absence, assistant coaches, including Ryan ten Doeschate, and the support staff are managing team preparations, which now feature a four-day intra-squad match against India A. The Indian team, captained by Shubman Gill after the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, is undergoing a period of transition. Selection dilemmas are expected as young players step in to fill the void left by senior players. The five-Test series is viewed as the beginning of a new era for Indian cricket. Gambhir has encouraged the squad to embrace the challenges and make the most of the opportunity.
