India will host England in a five-Test series scheduled to start on 25 January at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The last Test series between these two rivals ended in a 2-2 draw, with India losing the last match at Edgbaston in July 2022.
As the teams prepare for the upcoming series, India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed satisfaction with the team combination. Though, there are concerns after India’s recent performance against South Africa in red-ball cricket. India’s squad sees 22-year-old wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel in the team along with the spin triumvirate of Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel.
On the other hand, England captain Ben Stokes will come to India with a formidable side that include the likes of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, James Anderson and Mark Wood. Harry Brook has been withdrawn from the series due to personal reasons with Dan Lawrence coming in as replacement. There are also promising talents and the English side would want to make an impression with their new brand of cricket.
