Overview

• Sai Sudharsan has been selected for India's Test squad for the England tour, marking his first inclusion in the red-ball format.
• Former Tamil Nadu coach Sulakshan Kulkarni has raised concerns about Sudharsan's technique against the moving ball, a vital skill for success in England.
• Kulkarni suggests Sudharsan needs to curb playing away from the body and focus on playing straight and close to the body to adapt to English conditions.
• Despite an underwhelming domestic first-class average of 39.93, Sudharsan has shown promise with a maiden first-class century in England and strong IPL 2025 performances, scoring 679 runs in 14 innings.
• Sudharsan will play for India A against England Lions on June 6, 2025, providing a crucial opportunity to adjust before the Test series begins on June 20.
