India is ready to play five tests in England From June 20 to August 4, it refers to the beginning of its new World Championship cycle. After omitting the WTC finals for the first time in three editions, India will want to make an early statement.
From May 30, India will send his team “A” to three four -day matches against England Lions. Some of the tests are expected to be part of the tour and will go to England for 25 May.

India suffered at home historical Whitewash 0-3 against New Zealand, followed by 1-3 druing in Australia. A tour under the exposed vulnerability on the Indian side, while higher players Rohit and Kohli seek form.
While Rohit managed only 164 runs in eight matches during the 2024-25 season, Kohli, although he scored the century in the Perth series, failed to maintain consistency and accumulated only 85 runs across the last four tests.
Rohit even decided from the fifth and final test in Australia, but later explained that it was not a hint of his retirement from the test cricket.
Speculation about test futures Rohit and Kohli are definitely and their choice for England tour could prove to be crucial. However, Head coach Gautam Gambhir insisted on it On the side there is space for anyone who performs.
“Until (Rohit and Kohli) they perform, they should be part of the team. When you start and when you finish, your individual decision is,” said Gambhir ABP News.
