Backenham (England): The five -match Test series between India and England will start in Leeds from June 20. For the five -match Test series in England, India reached there a week in advance and started preparations. India is going to start a new era from this series. India will start under the captaincy of Shubman Gill for the new cycle of the World Test Championship.
According to India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel, it will be important to maintain continuity under the circumstances of England. However, this time Indian players will get less guessing the situation of playing in England. In such a situation, Morkel said that it is important to maintain continuity in England and when we practice, it has continuity, continuity outside the field. Our players have to find the process that suits their game.
He said that we have a lot of diversity. Our invasion has diversity, we have players with different skills, so they can do so as well as ‘basics’ (basic things) well. Overall, I am very happy with the preparation so far. We have played less cricket with red ball recently, which I was a little nervous but it was nice to see the way the players practiced in the last three days.
Before the IND Vs ENG Test series, Gautam Gambhir warmly welcomed the players, regarding the return of Karun Nair…
India last played cricket with a red ball during the Sydney Test against Australia in early January this year. Apart from this, many players including Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan will play Test series in England for the first time in the current team.
He said that we have a great team. It is very energetic and you need this. You have to get into the Test series with confidence and have a team spirit. This former South African fast bowler said in the context of the team’s practice sessions that the circumstances have been largely adapted to the fast bowlers. The circumstances in the two -day practice so far were favorable to the fast bowlers. It was a test watch for the batsmen, which also helped them to get ready for the upcoming challenge.
