England Gears Up for Tough Battle in Five-Test Series Against Dominant India

England faces a formidable challenge as they embark on a five-Test series against India aiming to replicate the success of Alastair Cook’s team in 2012. The tour involves extensive travel across India including the picturesque Dharamsala for the series finale. India unbeaten in Test series at home for 11 years, poses a daunting task. Notable changes include Rohit Sharma as captain and absences like Rishabh Pant and Mohammed Shami.

England led by Ben Stokes, faces a stern test against India’s potent spin attack. The unconventional Bazball project aims to approach the tour uniquely. Despite concerns about the inexperienced spin attack, England prioritizes an aggressive and positive approach. The series takes place away from major centers raising questions about its status in the context of the evolving cricket landscape. Overall, England faces a challenging journey in their first Test series since the Ashes.
