England Vs India Squad 2021: Due to the second wave of Covid-19, IPL has been postponed and now, all eyes are on India’s tour of England. India will play six Test matches on this tour including the Final of the World Test Championship and Five Test Matches against England.
The last time when India toured England for the red ball cricket series, the scorecard read 4-1 in the favour of the hosts. So, they will look forward to winning this time and want to retain their no.1 Test Team in the world.
India will play the WTC final from 18th June to 22nd June, and then they will play Five Test matches against England.
