Additionally, Virat Kohli stepped down from his role as Test captain of the Indian team after they suffered a Test series loss to South Africa.
All-rounder Ben Stokes has now taken over as captain of the England squad while opening batter Rohit Sharma has come in to skipper India.
Stokes has recently enjoyed phenomenal success as the new England captain, guiding his team to their first 3-0 home series whitewash win in nine years.
