India’s Test players have left for England where they will play the postponed fifth Test from their 2021 series in the country. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared photos of the players at the airport and in flight ahead of the tour.
India are set to face England at Old Trafford starting on July 1. The match is counted as the fifth Test of India’s 2021 series in the country, which they lead 2-1. The final Test was postponed in the last minute after a Covid-19 outbreak in the Indian camp.
A lot has changed for both teams since the series was postponed. Both teams have different captains with Virat Kohli having stepped down for India earlier this year and Rohit Sharma taking over. All-rounder Ben Stokes, meanwhile, has taken over as England captain after Joe Root was sacked.
