IND vs ENG Test Schedule 2024, Full Fixtures: After completing the iconic Ashes 2023, which was retained by Australia, England has set its eyes on the upcoming Test tour of India in 2024. India will host England in early 2024 for a five-game test series.



With England promoting the famous 'Bazball' way of playing test cricket, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for the Englishmen when they face the mighty Indian spinners. 



Zak Crawley, England opener who scored 480 runs in the five-match Ashes 2023, reckons England is as good in spin as it is with playing pace deliveries and that the players will just have to adapt to situations.



Notably, this time the BCCI has shifted from traditional venues to lesser-known venues in the country. The five-match Test series between India and England will be held in Hyderabad, Rajkot, Ranchi, Dharmshala and Vishakhapatnam.



The IND vs ENG 1st test starts on January 25, 2024, in Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The two teams will head to Vishakhapatnam for the second Test of the tour on February 2nd followed by a game in Rajkot, which starts on February 15. The final two games of the England tour of India 2024 will be hosted in Ranchi and Dharmshala respectively.

'Bazball!' The vocabulary of the new brand of test cricket that England have adopted in the last couple of years is going to meet its real challenger in the challenging conditions is what the head coach of the England Cricket team reckons. Brandon McCullum hints that England are going to unleash a full-fledged 'Bazball' as England are scheduled to travel to India for a 5-match Test Series in late January 2024.



Since taking over as England's coach in May of last year, McCullum has drawn the Ashes, swept Pakistan, and enjoyed victory against New Zealand, and India in the fifth Test match that was rescheduled for the 2021 series. The possibility of beating India in a Test series at home, though, seems to be McCullum's greatest accomplishment as a coach because no side has done so in more than 10 years.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/England-vs-Australia-4-1024x740.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-117053" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pic - Twitter, England Cricket</figcaption></figure>



As England will tour India, the first of the five test matches will start on January 25 in Hyderabad, followed by Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamshala. Except for Dharamshala, the conditions that India will play against England are more likely going to be spin-friendly and that is where India become unbeatable at home.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">McCullum Hints A Full Throttle 'Bazball' Against India</h2>



McCullum spoke on the RCB Innovation Lab program, ?We have got a huge challenge against a very good Indian team in five tests in India.?



?I am excited about it because you want to test yourself against the best side and I genuinely believe that India is the best in their own condition. It is going to be a good challenge for us. If we have success then fabulous, if we don?t then I know we will go down in the style that we want to go down.?



?We are playing the game, because we love cricket and we want to try and be as good at cricket as we possibly can. During the time that you are in the chair, you want to make sure you enjoy it and you shouldn?t wait till the end of your career to do so,? he said.



He also spoke a few words on the approach that players have in their mind and said, ?We are very lucky that we have had some immediate success but I don?t think it is the ceiling for us. I think we have seen some guys who have unlocked their potential in the last 18 months or so and that?s what the job is as a leader; to get the most out of the people that you?re in charge of.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/02/India-vs-England-1.jpg" alt="Team India to leave for the UK on 2nd June for the six Test Games, Families to accompany them" class="wp-image-33797" /></figure>



Even though the series is still almost two months away, its popularity has increased because of England's Bazball approach?a word that has entered the language. Bazball is defined by the Collins dictionary as "a style of Test cricket in which the batting side plays in a highly aggressive manner." However, given that Indian wickets aren't exactly known for being pace-friendly, is it a strategy that will work here?



When media questioned India coach Rahul Dravid about Bazball in July, before to the Edgbaston Test, he responded, "Don't really know what's that." A few days later, England defeated India by 7 wickets, and he got the class the hard way. In less than two years, Dravid is going to have his chance to level the playing field. McCullum indicated that England will go on playing the unique style of cricket, suggesting that Bazball will be unleashed.

This test series will be the part of ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. As per the latest reports, England will take a personal chef to India tour due to the fear of illness.



England Team Management took this step as a few of the players fell ill during the Pakistan tour just before the first test match. Omar Meziane is expected to be the personal chef of the England Cricket Team and most interestingly, he is also part of Manchester United in English Football.



The Test Series between India and England will be very crucial for both teams for the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/icc-wtc/" rel="nofollow">ICC WTC 2023-25 </a>cycle. India and England will try to win most of the matches as they have a great opportunity to get the top position in the WTC Points Table.?

However, If the Indian Team Successfully win this series, they will strengthen their chance to get into another ICC World Test Championship Final. But, it is not going to be easy for the Indian Team to defend England, who is known for their aggressive cricket.



Ben Stokes will be leading the test side in this series and he hasn't lost a single test series after taking over the test captaincy in 2022. If we talk about past stats, England lost their last two test series in India by 4-0 and 3-1.

IND vs ENG 2024: England to take a Personal Chef for the five-match test series against India

ind-vs-eng-2024-england-to-take-a-personal-chef-for-the-five-match-test-series-against-india

IND vs ENG: In a big blow to the Indian team ahead of their five-match test series against England, senior pacer Mohammad Shami is likely to miss the first two test matches between India and England. The pacer has suffered an ankle injury and is yet to recover.



India vs England five-match test series is scheduled to begin on January 25 in Hyderabad. Besides Hyderabad, the fixtures will be held in Vishakhapatnam, Rajkot, Ranchi and Dharmshala respectively.



Post India's World Cup 2023 defeat, it was revealed that Mohammad Shami played with an ankle injury during the event. He was subsequently pulled back from further bilateral fixtures and his treatment began at the NCA.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), though, named him in India's test squad for the South Africa tour, but his availability was subject to his fitness. Eventually, the senior pacer was deemed unfit as he had not cleared the fitness test at the NCA and didn't feature in the India vs South Africa test series which ended in a 1-1 draw.



As of now, Mohammad Shami hasn't resumed bowling and will take some time to recover from his injury. As reported by The Indian Express, the pacer will move to NCA and prove his fitness before he features in the test squad.



Notably, the BCCI won't rush him under any circumstances and the fast bowler will be given every opportunity to regain his prime fitness. With the India vs England test being played in home conditions, the Indian side won't go with a full-pace lineup.



?Shami hasn?t even started to bowl, he will have to go to NCA and prove his fitness. He looks doubtful for the first two Tests against England,? a source in the Indian board informed.



The preparations for the India vs England test will begin soon. The five-match test series will be part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. The last time England toured India for a test series they faced a 3-1 defeat.



Below is the complete schedule for the India vs England 5-match test series:



<ul>
<li>India vs England 1st test - January 25-29 - Hyderabad (9:30 AM IST)</li>



<li>India vs England 2nd Test - February 02-06 - Vishakhapatnam (9:30 AM IST)</li>



<li>India vs England 3rd Test - February 15-19 - Rajkot (9:30 AM IST)</li>



<li>India vs England 4th Test - February 23-27 - Ranchi (9:30 AM IST)</li>

IND vs ENG: On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named Rajat Patidar as the replacement for Virat Kohli, who has made himself unavailable for the opening two test matches against England. The India vs England test series is scheduled to get underway on January 25 in Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.



Notably, citing personal reasons, Virat Kohli informed his unavailability for the first two tests against England at the eleventh hour. The Indian Cricket Board has asked everyone to maintain privacy and not indulge in any speculation.



"Mr Virat Kohli has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to be withdrawn from the first two Tests of the upcoming IDFC First Bank Test series against England, citing personal reasons," said BCCI in a statement.



"Virat has spoken to Captain Rohit Sharma, the team management and the selectors and has emphasized that while representing the country has always been his top priority, certain personal situations demand his presence and undivided attention," he added.



Meanwhile, Rajat Patidar storms into the Indian test side on the back of some strong innings in the last few weeks. The Madhya Pradesh batter scored 151 against England Lions in Ahmedabad, last week after notching up 111 in the warm-up fixture against the England Lions.



Though Patidhar usually holds a position in the top order, he is very unlikely to get a chance at the top rather he will be slotted in the middle-order, should he get a chance. 



Talking about Patidar's First Class numbers, the batter has scored 4000 runs at an impressive average of 45.97 after playing 95 innings and 55 matches. The batter has 12 centuries and 22 half-centuries under his belt in the format.



With the selection of Rajat Patidar, the BCCI also clears its stance on the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. The two stalwarts have been overlooked for the last two series, after their poor run of form during the World Test Championship 2023. 



However, with Pujara's brilliant run in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2023-24, there were some rumours that the veteran batter could be called into the side in the absence of Virat Kohli. Notably, Pujara has been the second-highest run-getter in the ongoing Ranji Trophy with 444 runs in three matches.

The visitors currently have the upper hand as they managed to defeat the Indian team by 28 runs in the first test match at Hyderabad?s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, and a victory in the first test has allowed the Three Lions to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match test series. This was India?s fourth defeat in 48 test matches at home as the Three Lions executed the biggest comeback on Indian soil by a visiting team.



Players from both teams performed well with the bat and with the ball as well, but some players failed to live up to their expectations, and there are high chances that they might just end up getting dropped from the playing 11 for the next match. This article will provide you with information regarding three players who might get dropped from the playing 11 in favour of other players.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Shreyas Iyer</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Shreyas-Iyer.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-125821" /></figure>



Shreyas Iyer has performed exceptionally well for the Indian team at the number four spot in the white-ball formats, as his ability to build the innings and change gears willingly gives him the automatic preference over other batters, but he has failed to convert his white-ball form into the longest format of the game.



In the first test match against England, the 29-year-old scored 35 decent runs in the first inning. But the second inning is where India needed him the most, and he failed to get going as he managed to score just 13 runs as Jack Leach dismissed him quite easily. Even in the two-match test series against South Africa, he performed poorly with the bat, scoring just 41 runs in the two test matches. Rajat Patidar, who has been in red-hot form in domestic cricket, is waiting to get a chance to prove his worth in Test cricket, and Iyer might get dropped in favour of the RCB batter for the second test match against England.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Shubman Gill</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Shubman-Gill.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-125823" /></figure>



Shubman Gill, often regarded as the Prince of Cricket, had a really good start to his test career when he made his debut against the Aussies in Australia in 2020 and played two brilliant knocks of 50+ runs. He scored his first test century of his career against Bangladesh in 2022 at Chattogram and his second and previous century against Australia in Ahmedabad. But all these good knocks came as openers, and now that Gill has shifted to the number 3 position in order to accommodate Yashasvi Jaiswal as an opener in the playing 11, the Punjab batter has struggled to adapt to the number 3 spot.



Since that century against Australia, the 24-year-old's scores in his last 11 test innings have been 13, 18, 6, 10, 29*, 2, 26, 36, 10, 23, and 0 runs. These scores are really poor when you talk about Shubman Gill, considering the high potential he has. His Test Career Average has gone below 30, and with Virat Kohli likely to return to the team from the third test match onwards and the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and Sarfaraz Khan constantly knocking on the doors of the selectors with their superb Ranji Trophy performances, Gill would have to play a big innings if he wants to continue being a part of the playing 11.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Mark Wood</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Mark-Wood.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-125824" /></figure>



Mark Wood played the role of the sole pacer for the Three Lions in the first test match against India at Hyderabad. But there are doubts regarding his participation in the second test match. Wood prefers to bowl short-pitched balls and does not prefer bowling with the new ball, so forcing the spinners to open the bowling with the new ball and bowling bouncers all the time on Indian spinning tracks is not a good option.



In the first test match, even though he was quite economical with the ball, he failed to pick up a single wicket in both innings. The English management might just replace Mark Wood with Ollie Robinson or James Anderson, as both of them are genuine swingers of the ball and can trouble the Indian batters in the second test match.

IND vs ENG: Three players may be dropped from the playing 11 in the second test match between India and England

ind-vs-eng-three-players-may-be-dropped-from-the-playing-11-in-the-second-test-match-between-india-and-england

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out for during India vs England 2nd Test: Just a few hours before we proceed with the red-ball action between India and England for the 2nd time in the ongoing five-match test series. The two teams will be in the huddle at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, starting on February 02.



England, with an early win in the series, will be hoping to double down on their lead, while India, the hosts will look to seal the opportunity to control the damage copped in the 1st test in Hyderabad.



The 1st India vs England test in Hyderabad saw England's resilience and courageous batting resulting in putting up a challenging total, despite trailing immensely in the second innings. Furthermore, England's debutant spinner Tom Hartley shone under pressure and aided his side to register a 28-run win against India.



England will once again brace themselves for a massive challenge in Vishakhapatnam against India, starting February 02. Their win in the first test will be used as a tool to get inspired and pip the mighty Indian side.



On the other side, Team India, after the defeat in the 1st test, suffered a couple of blows as far as squad composition is concerned. The likes of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have been ruled out of the 2nd test due to their respective injuries which they suffered during the 1st test. To cover the losses, the BCCI has roped in Sarfaraz Khan, Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar.



Let's take a look at players to watch out for during the India vs England 2nd test in Vishakhapatnam:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: Players to Watch For during India vs England 2nd Test </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rohit Sharma</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Rohit-Sharma-Yashasvi-Jaiswal-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125636" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: ANI</figcaption></figure>



Indian captain Rohit Sharma has faced significant flak from the fans and experts for his batting of late. Though he has been successful in providing starts to the team, test cricket is not just about the starts. While the significance of getting starts is immense, a large part of the red-ball format relies on capitalising on the starts and pile-up runs for the team, which certainly hasn't been the case for Rohit Sharma. 



He returned with the scores of 24 and 39 in the two innings of the first test against England in Hyderabad. He got the starts but failed to maximise it.



Moreover, the absence of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja has significantly weakened the team, and a lot of responsibility will be on Rohit Sharma's shoulders. The way he bats will influence India's innings.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Joe Root</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Joe-Root.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125990" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Joe Root | Image Source: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



England will rely heavily on the services of Joe Root, who has emerged as an all-rounder in the sub-continent. Root's skills with the bat are second to none, his prowesses with the ball will be crucial as well. 



With senior spinner Jack Leach injured, Root automatically becomes the leader of England's spin attack which comprises the likes of Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir. The three spinners named alongside Joe Root have little to no experience under their belt.



Root returned with 5 wickets in the 1st test along with the scores of 29 and 2 in the two innings. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Jasprit Bumrah</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Jasprit-Bumrah-India-vs-England-test.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125991" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jasprit Bumrah | Image Source: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



After failing with a 2-pacers and 3-spinners approach, team India is expected to field the playing11 in the Vishakhapatnam test with just a solitary pacer in Jasprit Bumrah. The senior speedster was successful in the 1st test with his brilliant bowling display. Out of three pacers playing in the India vs England 1st test, only Jasprit Bumrah managed to pick wickets.



Bumrah will have the responsibility to set up India's bowling innings as he has done over the years. With no Mohammad Siraj from the other end, Bumrah will be key as he will be used often to break the momentum and rattle the opposition.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024

ind-vs-eng-2nd-test-players-to-watch-out-for-during-india-vs-england-2nd-test-england-tour-of-india-2024

IND vs ENG: India and England are currently taking on each other in a five-match Test series. The first two tests have already been completed, with the Three Lions claiming a dominant victory in the first test in Hyderabad. In reply, hosts Rohit Sharma and his men bounced back in pretty good fashion, securing an emphatic 106-run victory in the second Test in Visakhapatnam.



The upcoming 3rd Test, which is set to take place at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, is set to start on February 15th. It is anticipated that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may announce the Men in Blues squad for the remaining three Tests today.



Ahead of India's squad announcement for the remaining three Test matches against England, let's have a look at the players who are likely to miss the remaining three Test matches against England.



Virat Kohli:?India 's Start Batsman Virat Kohli missed the first two matches of the five-match Test series against England due to family reasons. Kohli's close friend and former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player, AB de Villiers, revealed that Virat and Anushka are expecting their second child, thereby casting doubts on Virat's return for the remaining three Test matches against England.



Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja:?According to multiple news reports, All-Rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Fast Bowler are going to miss the remaining three matches of the five-match Test Series between India and England as both of them have not managed to recover from the injuries they suffered. Their absence is not good news for the Men in Blue, as both Shami and Jadeja have played a huge role in India's success in the longest format of the game.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Jasprit-Bumrah-IND-vs-ENG.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-126296" /></figure>



Jasprit Bumrah:?Jasprit Bumrah has been constantly playing cricket since the South Africa series, and keeping the 2024 T20 World Cup in mind, the Indian management is likely to give some much-needed rest to their best fast bowler, Bumrah, for the upcoming third Test match in Rajkot.



There's some good news for the hosts as star wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who missed the second Test match due to an injury he suffered in the Hyderabad test, is likely to return to full-match fitness in time for the 3rd Test in Rajkot, starting on February 15th. If the LSG Skipper recovers in time, he's almost certain to return to the playing 11. His return means that Shreyas Iyer is likely to get benched for the third test match against England.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">India's Predicted Squad for the Rajkot Test</h3>



Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KS Bharat (WK), Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Saurabh Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, and KL Rahul.

Mumbai Indians Cape Town Dewald Brevis came up with the stunning effort in the field and picked the best catches in the history of the tournament. His effort came during the 4th over of the Sunrisers Eastern Cape when he plucked a stunner to remove Tom Abell and put his team at the top. 
Corbin Bosch bowled a delivery that was was short and was angled in. Abell looked to pull it and got a massive top-edge on the pull. Dewald Brevis, who was at deep square, seemed to have lost it in the sun and with the kind of impression he gave, it looked ball would land safely. 
The ball was going beyond him, but Dewald Brevis stretched his right hand over him and grabbed it out of thin air. He came up with the superman type effort and flew to take a blinder and send the batter packing: 
You can seen the video at the end of the article: 
Dewald Brevis notably has made a habit of picking stunners in the league. He picked a sensational catch in the last match against JSK and now came up witn another effort. He complimented his bowlers, who came up with the magical effort with the ball and made mockery of opposition. 
Corbin Bosch was the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai Indians Cape Town. The all-rounder picked four wickets with the ball while Kagiso Rabada picked two scalps. Based on their collective effort with the ball, they bundled out Sunrisers Eastern Cape for just 107 runs. 
Mumbai Indians Cape Town would be confident of chasing the target and gain important points in the league. Dewald Brevis would be eager to get some runs under his belt and help his team win the game and put one step in the playoffs of the SA20 2025.

Test cricket is the pinanncale of this sport and it is certainly the hardest format of the game. It takes a lot to perform and deliver consistently for a long time.

5. Steve Smith (AUS)
Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.
4. Ricky Ponting (AUS)
Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.
3. Kumar Sangakkara (SL)
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara was an underrated batter, but his numbers are certainly mind-boggling. He retired with the most runs and centuries for Sri Lanka in international cricket. The Southpaw also holds the record for the second-most test double hundreds (11) after Sir Don Bradman (12). Sangakkara reached 10,000 test runs in his 195th innings. He played 134 tests and scored 12,400 runs at an average of 57.40 and the best of 319. The Southpaw scored 38 centuries and 52 half-centuries in total.
2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)
The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.
1. Brian Lara (WI)
Brian Lara was one of the best batters that West Indies produced in this game. The left-hander holds the record for the highest test individual score and is the only batter to cross the 370-run mark twice in an innings. Lara reached 10,000 test runs in the 195th innings. Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.
