Shubman Gill was on Saturday appointed India's new Test captain while Rishabh Pant was named his deputy, starting with the five-match series in England.

Shubman Gill is appointed Test captain of the India men's team before their tour of England, replacing Rohit Sharma after he retired from the format.

Shubman Gill was named as India’s new test skipper on Saturday to lead the team on its upcoming five-test tour of England starting June 20. The 25-year-old batter takes over from Rohit Sharma, who last led India against Australia during the Boxing Day test in December.

The top three batters hit centuries as England posted a mammoth score of 498-3 on the first day of a one-off test against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe will end a 22-year Test cricket drought against powerhouse England after many discussions over the past decade amid a thorny relationship.
