ENGLAND Tour of India 2025: After the conclusion of the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, Team India is set to host England for a white-ball series. The first home assignment of 2025 for India will feature five T20Is and three ODIs. 
India’s cricketing fortunes took a tumble in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with a 3-1 series defeat to Australia. After four years of Indian dominance, the Aussies finally broke through, reclaiming the trophy in emphatic style.
A lackluster performance from India’s batting lineup, coupled with a struggling skipper Rohit Sharma, left much to be desired. Jasprit Bumrah stood tall as the lone warrior in the bowling department, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
Now, as 2025 kicks off, India has a golden opportunity to turn things around. The upcoming home series against England in January couldn’t have come at a better time. With the ICC Champions Trophy also on the horizon later this year, it’s crucial for India’s star players to regain their form and confidence. This England tour isn’t just another bilateral series; it’s a stepping stone to redemption and preparation for the global stage.
Looking back at the history between these two sides in the white-ball format, India holds a slight edge. Out of 107 ODIs, India has emerged victorious 58 times, while England has won 44. In T20Is, the battle is even closer, with India winning 13 of the 24 matches and England taking 11. With such a competitive rivalry, fans can expect fireworks as India aims to make a strong statement ahead of the Champions Trophy.
For the 2025 series, England have announced the Squad for their India tour while India were waiting for the BGT to be over. Let's take a look at the ENGLAND tour of INDIA 2025 Schedule, Full Squads, TIming, Venues and All You Need To Know!

India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to go past MS Dhoni in the elite list of Indian players in Test cricket. The left-hander is just 6 sixes away from surpassing former keeper-batter in the most number of sixes for the national team in the history of the longest format of the game.
Rishabh Pant currently has 72 sixes in Test cricket in just 75 innings, which says a lot about his calibre as a player in the longest format of the game. MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has hit 78 sixes in the 144 innings that he has played for the team in the longest format of the game.
Virender Sehwag sits at the top of the list in the most number of sixes for the Indian team in Tests with 90 maximums in 178 innings. Current captain Rohit Sharma is second on the charts with 88 maximums to his name from 116 innings. 
<h2>Most sixes for India in Test Cricket: </h2>
Sehwag - 90 (178 innings)
Rohit - 88 (116 innings)
Dhoni - 78 (144 innings)
Pant - 72* (75 innings) 
Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket. The keeper-batter proved his prowess in the ongoing game against Australia, which is the fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings. 
While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition. He played the attacking brand of cricket and put the Australian bowlers under pressure in what was a tough pitch to bat. 
<h2>India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Coming to the match, India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. They were right on the money with the bat and ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday. 
Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early. Sam Konstas (23) and Steve Smith (33) tried to bring Australia back with their innings but their partnership could last only 20 runs. 
India kept taking wickets at regular wickets, but debutant Beau Webster (57)  slammed a half-century, and a vital hand from Alex Carey (21:36b, 4x4) took Australia to 181, four runs behind India. 
India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and picked wickets at regular intervals to reduce India to 78 for four. 
But it was Rishabh Pant (61) who slammed a half-century in a flash and took the game away as it allowed India to take the lead of over 120. At stumps on Day two, India was 141 for six with the lead of 145 runs and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at crease.

As the 5th Test between India and Australia unfolds, fans are watching an intense battle with high stakes. India, leading by 145 runs at the end of Day 2, has lost six wickets, leaving them in a tough spot. The outcome of the match could depend on whether India can stretch their lead further on Day 3. If they manage to add another 200 runs, they'll have a chance to secure victory, but it will require strong performances from their remaining batsmen.
Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25) Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played. On the other hand, India has managed to secure one victory, with one match ending in a draw, adding to the overall unpredictability of the series.
Potential for a Draw in this Test Series As the IND vs AUS series reaches its climax, the possibility of a draw remains a realistic outcome. With Australia leading 2-1 in the series, India is under immense pressure to win the final Test to level the series. Given the current match scenario, where India has a slender lead and has lost six wickets, achieving victory will be a challenging task.
Final Stand:
India leads by 145 runs at the end of Day 2 in the 5th Test against Australia, with Rishabh Pant's performance standing out. Despite the lead, Australia remains in a strong position as the match intensifies.

England's former captain Michael Vaughan believes that fierce-rivals India and Pakistan should play a Test-Match versu each other in Australia. He believes that if this happens, then Test Cricket will witness a great surge of growth and this match will also increase the excitement of the longest format of the game. 
However, Michael Vaughan admits that this is not easy due to political reasons between India and Pakistan, but this option can be considered. Apart from this, if the ICC gets involved in this matter, then there are chances of things working out.
<h2>"I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</h2>
In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, "I wish that both rivals Pakistan and India play Test-Matches versus each other on Australian soil. Both teams do square off against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC Tournaments, but both of them haven't faced each other in red ball Cricket since a really long time. I want both of them face each other in the longest format of the game, but the only problem is that they cannot face each other in their home conditions. 
Therefore, as a solution to the problem, they can play Test Cricket versus each other in Australia or England. If this happens, it will be one of the biggest moments of the game and they will surely receive support in huge numbers."
"Pakistan &amp; India playing Test-Matches versus each other is going to prove to be absolutely phenomenal for the longest format of the game. Although, I am aware about the amount of politics involved in this matter, I believe both the teams can consider playing Tests at the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)," Vaughan added. 
It's worth noting that the Indian and Pakistani teams have not faced each other in the Test format for almost 18 years. The last Test series between the two teams was played in 2007-08, but since then the two teams have not faced each other in Tests.
