Shubman Gill Likely to Play in Galle Test as Warm‑up Match Skips His Batting

India’s top‑order batsman Shubman Gill has been named in the squad for the Test match against Sri Lanka at Galle, but he is unlikely to bat in the preceding warm‑up game. The selectors have opted to give him rest from batting duties, allowing him to focus on his form ahead of the series. Gill’s inclusion signals confidence in his recent performances and the team’s intent to strengthen the batting lineup for the Galle Test. The warm‑up match will feature other senior players, while Gill’s role will be limited to fielding and practice sessions.
