Pant, who will serve as Shubman Gill's deputy, has been named India's new vice captain. Given his prior performances in England, his form will be vital to the team's success in the forthcoming season. With two hundreds and as many fifties, the southpaw has amassed 556 runs at an average of 32.70 from 17 innings in England.

The 27-year-old has a strong track record in English cricket, amassing 556 runs, including two hundreds, in nine Test matches. He is a vital part of India's red-ball setup because of his offensive style of play. After mainstays Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired, the Indian squad is currently going through a transitional period.

The team led by Shubman Gill recently arrived in England and started practising at Lord's before moving some of their drills to the Kent venue, where they will play an intra-squad match against the India A squad on June 13.

India Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav; Shubman Gill (C); Rishabh Pant (VC & WK); and Jashasvi Jaiswal
