Team India is currently on a tour of Dubai, where it is playing the Champions Trophy. After this, Indian players will take part in the IPL and then go to England for the Test series in June. But Team India's performance in the Test format has been very poor. It had to face a clean sweep at home against New Zealand. At the same time, it also lost on the Australia tour. In such a situation, the BCCI has taken a big decision in view of the Test format. Due to which the responsibility of the players will increase during the IPL.

Indian players may need to handle many responsibilities during IPL 2025. There is a possibility that during these two months, the players may also have to remain involved in red ball cricket. This situation is arising due to the five-match Test series to be played against England in June-July, which will be played after the IPL. Although it is not yet clear how the BCCI will keep the players ready for Test cricket, it is certain that planning for this has already started.

According to a Cricbuzz report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is working on a strategy to keep the players connected to Test cricket during the IPL season. There is a possibility that players will be asked to participate in red ball practice sessions occasionally. The BCCI wants to take this decision to improve the team's game in Tests. Talking about the IPL, the league will be held from March 22 to May 25 and the five-match Test series in England will begin on June 20.

The trend of India losing every overseas Test series against England after the IPL cannot be ignored. In 2011, the Indian team toured England after the IPL, where it lost 4-0. After this, India lost 4-1 in 2018. The last Test series was played between the two teams in England in 2021. Then this series ended in a 2-2 draw. Let us tell you, the last match of this series was played after the IPL due to Corona. Even then Team India lost the last match.
