England reached Abu Dhabi to start their preparations for the upcoming Test series against India. England will take on India in the first of a five-match Test series which starts on January 25.
England have revolutionised Test cricket with Brendon McCullum as coach. Thanks to their ‘Bazball’ style of play, England have been a force to reckon with in Test cricket over the last two years.
Since Brendon McCullum took over as coach of the Test team in 2022, England are yet to lose a Test series at home or away, winning four and drawing three of those. Their overall Test win-loss record is 14 victories and six defeats in the same period.
The last time England toured India, however, they were at the receiving end of a 3-1 hiding. They won the first Test but then lost the next three heavily: by 317 runs, 10 wickets and an innings and 25 runs respectively. Indeed, since their famous 2-1 victory in 2012-13 England have won just one Test out of nine in India, losing seven and drawing the other one.
Engand squad for IND vs ENG Tests:
Ben Stokes (captain), Rehan Ahmed, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow (wicketkeeper), Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Mark Wood
