The intra-squad match has ended and the Indian cricket team will have a complete day off on June 16. The team will then leave for Leeds on June 17.

Shardul makes a strong case for himself in the playing XI for the 1st Test in Leeds. Don't be surprised if his name pops up on the team sheet on June 20. Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Sarfraz Khan have been the other top performers in the match so far.

According to a report in The Indian Express, Shardul Thakur scored an unbeaten 122 on Day 3 of Team India's intra-squad match. Shardul's last Test appearance came during the South Africa tour in December 2023.

According to a report by RevSportz, Team India's Intra squad game is  over after Two and a half days. 

NDTV was not able to verify this development.

India and England will battle it out for the prestigious Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which was previously called as the Pataudi Trophy.

However, as per a report by Cricbuzz, Sachin Tendulkar is believed to have spoken to the BCCI and ECB officials to continue with the Pataudi legacy.

"It is likely that the authorities will name a medallion in the name of late MAK Pataudi, which will, in all likelihood, be given to the winning captain," the report said.

Dale Steyn has backed England to edge India out in the upcoming series.

Shubman Gill reveals he has the vote of confidence from Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar, who have not burdened him with high hopes.

"They just want me to be able to express myself as a leader. I mean, that's what they have told me, there are no expectations. They are not expecting me to, you know, to do something that I'm not capable of.

According to a report by The Indian Express, Ruturaj Gaikwad got out for a duck on Day 2. That was not what he was hoping for ahead of his stint with Yorkshire in the County Championship and One-Day Cup. He will join up with the Yorkshire squad ahead of the County Championship game against Surrey at Scarborough in July and will remain with the White Rose until the end of the season and will also be available for selection in the Day Cup.

Rising batting sensation Sai Sudharsan (India), who has already impressed in domestic cricket and the recently-concluded Indian Premier League season, scored 38 runs. He has got his maiden national call-up, being included in the 18-member squad for the England Test series.

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been in fine touch in the ongoing Intra-Squad game. He was the pick of the bowlers for his team on the opening day of the match, while the player scored 19 not out in his role as batter on the second day.

On Day 2, it was a poor outing for Ruturaj Gaikwad (India A), who was dismissed for a duck. Other India A batters Abhimanyu Easwaran (39) and Ishan Kishan (45 not out) played handy knocks. India all-rounder Washington Sundar, who came in to bat twice, scored 0 and 35.
