IND vs ENG Test series starts on January 25 with a match at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, followed by four red-ball contests in Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, Ranchi, and DhaIndia is now second in the ICC World Test Championship points standings with a win percentage of 54.16%, while England is ranked 8th with a win percentage of 15.0%. England last won a Test series in India in 2012, captained by Alastair Cook. India had won 16 home series since their 1-2 defeat against England 13 years ago. In their most recent trip of India in 2021, England won the first Test in Chennai but lost the next three.
Rohit Sharma is going to lead the 16-man Indian team, with Jasprit Bumrah as his deputy. The selectors have kept to tried-and-true names when announcing the India lineup for the first two Tests against England, with wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel being the only fresh face. Mohammed Shami was not named to the squad because he is still recovering from an injury sustained during the ODI World Cup last year. Shami was also not part of the India team that recently toured South Africa. Shardul Thakur, a pace bowling all-rounder, was also absent, while left-arm spinner Axar Patel returned to the team as predicted.
England, led by captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, will look to maintain their unblemished Test record. During a busy summer last year, England rallied from behind to tie the Ashes with Australia 2-2. England will travel to India with four spinners in their squad. Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir, two uncapped players, are part of England’s quadruple spin assault, alongside Jack Leach and Rehan Ahmed. Brendon McCullum’s ‘Bazball’ hypothesis will also be tested during the forthcoming Test series.
