Indian players were seen arguing with fielding coach T Dilip in a video on X.

The Shubman Gill-led Indian Cricket Team are all set to clash with the hosts England in a five-match test series. The ENG vs IND first test will begin from June 20 at Headingley in Leeds, while the fifth clash will be played at The Kia Oval from July 31 to August 4.

Notably, the Indian team comprise a young and less-experienced squad, which will be captained by newly appointed skipper Shubman Gill. Some senior members like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja are also part of the squad.

However, with the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from tests, India are expected to face a huge challenge in the batting department in English conditions. The Indian Team have not won a test series in England since 2007 and with less experience in their kitty, it will be an uphill task for them to win.
