The fifth test between England and India will be played at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium, know the cricket ground test records, weather and pitch report
The location has now been shifted to Edgbaston, and in the interim, the teams have also experienced some modifications.
Virat Kohli served as India’s captain, and Ravi Shastri served as the national team’s head coach. After a year, Rahul Dravid has replaced Shastri as captain and Rohit Sharma has assumed the position. Ajinkya Rahane is no longer a member of India’s middle order, and Cheteshwar Pujara has made a comeback after excelling in English county cricket.
England has also changed, on their own terms. The undisputed captain at the time was Joe Root, but after a bad performance in the Ashes, Ben Stokes took over. Chris Silverwood was the head coach of England in 2021, but that disastrous Ashes series brought an end to both of their tenures. Brendon McCullum is now in charge of the Test team.

Report about Edgbaston’s pitch
Although Edgbaston is sometimes referred to as having ideal batting conditions, the bowlers also have considerable control here. But this isn’t a green field like the ones at Lord’s or Old Trafford or a perfectly level track like the ones at Trent Bridge that we frequently see. Here, you must put in the effort to score runs, and the bowlers also receive somewhat purchase in the form of bounce, seam or turn.
