Currently, India is the topper of the group and England sits at the 3rd position on the table. Moreover, the winner of the ICC Test Championship will go onto become the no.1 Test team in the world. Currently, India is at number 3 and England at number 4 in ICC test men’s ranking.
Shifting back the focus to the upcoming tour to England, then as per reports, the ECB is trying to get the government’s approval to bring in fans to the stadium.
The last time India went to England was back in 2018 at the same duration of the year for the same number of test matches but lost the series humiliatingly 4-1 to the hosts. Though the team would like to mark a solid impression on their turf in the upcoming tour.
