The IPL 2025 is at its peak. The IPL will end in May. After the end of IPL 2025, a five -Test series against England is to be played in the next month i.e. June 2025. The Indian team is preparing full for this series.
In such a situation, the discussion of the return of those players has caught fire, who can return to the Indian team through Test cricket after a long time. The list includes big names like Hardik Pandya, Karun Nair and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who can return to the Test team after about 7 years. Let’s know how their return will be.
IPL 2025: Hardik Pandya will return after 7 years
All -rounder Hardik Pandya last played Test cricket in the year 2018. But seeing the performance of Pandya, who was away from Tests for 7 years, 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev has suggested that once again Hardik should get a chance in the Test. Let me tell you, in the released IPL 2025, Hardik Pandya is captaining Mumbai Indians. Along with the captaincy, his great performance remains in the discussion. If the same performance is continuously, then the all -rounder can play the all -rounder role in the Test match.
Triple Century batsman Karun Nair returns
In the Test played against England in 2016, Karun Nair created history by playing an unbeaten innings of 303 runs. With this performance, he became the second Indian batsman to score a triple century. Even after a spectacular performance, he was excluded from the Indian Test team.
He is currently seen performing brilliantly in IPL 2025. He has caught everyone’s attention against Delhi with a great innings of 89 runs off 40 balls. It is being told that former cricketers Ambati Rayudu and Wasim Jafar have supported Karun Nair’s return to the Test team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar can play Test with Bumrah and Shami
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is known for his swing bowling. He did well in Test cricket by 2018. However, he had to be ruled out due to injury. He has made a great comeback from the recent domestic cricket. England pitches, where the ball swings, can work in Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s acrobatics. In such a situation, if his performance continues, he can play Tests with Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.
