IND vs Eng: The Indian cricket team has started its practice on England tour. On the very first day, all the players including captain Shubman Gill and vice -captain Rishabh Pant worked hard. The first Test between India and England will be played in Headingley from 20 June. The team is currently in London and is practicing at Lord’s Indoor Cricket Ground. BCCI has also shared a video of this.
Jaspreet Bumrah’s role will be important
England’s pitches help fast bowlers a lot, in such a situation, the role of Jasprit Bumrah becomes very important. He will play three Tests on this tour. It will be interesting to see whether he plays in the first Test or not. But seeing his hard work, it seems that he is fully fit and ready. Before practice, all the players played football and then exercised. Bowling coach Morne Morkel and head coach Gautam Gambhir were also seen practicing players. Gambhir’s focus is that the players mourn the condition of England as soon as possible.
Why is it difficult to win the Test in England?
The circumstances of England have always been challenging for Indian players. This time there are no experienced players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the team. India has visited England 19 times so far, but has won the Test series only 3 times. The last time India won the Test series in England under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid in 2007. After that, under the captaincy of Dhoni and Kohli, the team went to England four times but never won the series – lost 3 times and a draw 1 time.
India’s Test Squad:
Shubman Gill (Captain), Rishabh Pant (Vice -captain and wicketkeeper), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Ishwar, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurlel (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Kulladi, Kulladi Yadav.
