(Reuters) -Newly-appointed India test skipper Shubman Gill said he wants to concentrate on his batting rather than the pressure of captaincy as his side prepares to start a new era following the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

England and India will play for a new test series trophy named after cricket greats James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar when their five-match series starts tonight in Leeds. The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will be awarded in all future test series between the two sides, replacing the Pataudi Trophy in England and the Anthony De Mello Trophy in India.

England has kept faith with Ollie Pope as the No. 3 batter for the first cricket test against India despite the return to the squad of Jacob Bethell.
