The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared some crucial snippets from the first day of the men’s Test side’s intra-squad game in Leeds on Friday (June 13), which precedes the five-match Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, beginning on June 20. In a video shared on social media where fast-bowler Prasidh Krishna anchored the day’s round-up, there were snippets of new captain Shubman Gill giving his (probably) first speech in an India huddle. “Let’s maintain our intensity, especially when we are fielding, let’s focus on the areas that we want to focus on as a team, as a bowling unit, and as a batting unit,” Gill can be heard saying in the video.

That’s what’s going about today as well. And looks like a nice hard pitch. Bowlers have been in the game all throughout, bowling some really good spells, and batsmen have shown some character. It’s always good when you’re competing against each other as well. So yeah, all of us are excited and enjoying what’s happening,” he added. “It’s fun to have some fun people around, and you can’t really be focused for a really long time, especially when you’re sitting outside. So you make sure you have your bit of fun and when you can sense situations, you make sure you support your team by making sure you’re being switched on, because anything can happen in the industry of cricket in itself.
