India faced a heartbreaking defeat in the first Test match against South Africa. South Africa hammered India with an inning and 32-run win in that match. Another Test match is left in that series. After that Test series, India will play a five-match Test series against England on home soil. England will travel to India in 2024 to play the Test series. Steve Harmision talked about this series.
India vs. England Test Series:
Currently, India is playing a Test series against South Africa. They lost the first Test of the series and heading to the next match. The last match of this series is scheduled in Cape Town. After coming back to India, they will begin the preparation for the Test series against England. At the end of January, England will travel to India to play the Test series.
The first Test of the match is scheduled from January 25 to January 29. The second Test match of the series will start on February 2. From February 15, the third Test will be played between India and England. The fourth match of the series will start on February 23. The series will be concluded with the last Test starting from March 7 to March 11.
Steve Harmision’s Words:
After a long time, India and England will play a Test series against each other. Ben Stokes and Co. is ready to face challenges in Indian conditions. They will test their strength in spin-friendly conditions in India. As per reports, England will start training in the UAE before reaching India. After that, the England team is expected to reach India on the 21st or 22nd of January.
Steve Harmision talked about the late arrival of the England team ahead of the Test series. he said, “If England go in 3 days before, they deserve to get beat 5-0. They do. I’m an old man, that is what they are going to say, the times have changed, and the game has changed, but I tell you, preparation has not changed. You can’t go into India underprepared. In fact, you cannot go India overprepared as well, you can be in India for six weeks before and still not be prepared for that first Test.”
Later he added, “I would love to know what Pietersen, Strauss, Cook, in that great side, the only side that has won there in 2012, what they would think when they hear that England will go to India like three days before the series. I think they would laugh at you.”
