<p>In the last warm-up match of T20 World Cup 2024, India and Bangladesh will face each other on Saturday at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in USA. Meanwhile, all the fans' eyes are on Indian team's star player Virat Kohli who has not yet reached USA. For your information, let us tell you that the Indian team has reached USA with captain Rohit Sharma.</p>



<p>PTI reports that Kohli took a leave of absence for personal reasons, but he is anticipated to return to the team on Friday, May 31. But according to an ESPN CricInfo report, the BCCI has not yet given any information regarding his travel status. Due to the lengthy flight, it is doubtful if he will be able to participate in Saturday's warm-up match against Bangladesh at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, even if he arrives by Friday.</p>



<p>Recently, Virat Kohli was seen spending time in a Mumbai restaurant with his wife Anushka Sharma, his friends Zaheer Khan, Sagarika Ghatge, and YouTuber Gaurav Kapur.</p>



<p>"The BCCI are yet to provide any kind of a update regarding Virat Kohli's travel status to the USA," ESPNCricinfo reported. Virat's last match was on 22nd May in the eliminator of IPL 2024 where his team Royal Challengers Bengaluru were eliminated from the playoffs by Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals.</p>



<p>Kohli was anticipated to link up with his Indian teammates in the United States of America by 31st May, Friday but his chances of featuring in the warm - up game against Bangladesh om 1st June are pretty uncertain.</p>



<p>"His chances of featuring in the warm up fixture against Bangladesh are looking pretty bleak keeping in mind the travel time between India and USA," PTI said.</p>



<p>Virat had a really good IPL 2024 season with the bat as he won the Orange Cap for the second time in his career and amassed 741 runs in 15 games at a really good strike rate of 154.70. </p>



<p>The Men in Blue will begin their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign on 5th june against Ireland and the much awaited India vs Pakistan clash will be played on 9th June at New York's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The Indians will then take on co - hosts USA on 12th June before traveling to Lauderhill, Florida for the final group stage match against Canada on 15th June.</p>



<p><strong>India squad: </strong>Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya (<strong>vc</strong>), Rohit Sharma (<strong>c</strong>), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohd.

<p><strong>Toss: </strong>India won the toss and opt to bat</p>



<p><strong>Time:</strong> 8:00 PM</p>



<p><strong>Venue:</strong> Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York</p>



<p>It was a solid batting display from the Indian batting unit! The opening duo of captain Rohit Sharma and Sanju Samson took their own sweet time to settle down at the crease but Samson didn't get going and had to depart to the pavilion early. Then Rohit took matters in his own hands and played some fabulous shots in all parts of the ground but he too wasn't able to spend a lot of time in the middle and had to go back to the pavilion off the bowling of Mahmudullah. </p>



<p>Since Virat Kohli didn't take a part in this game, Rishabh Pant got a chance to bat at number three  and him along with world's number one T20i batter Suryakumar Yadav batted at a completely different level. Pant played a fabulous knock of 53 runs in 32 balls before deciding to retire out in order to let other get some batting time in the middle. SKY looked in jis regular vintage mode with his inning of 31 runs in 18 deliveries but Tanvir Islam got the better of him and he had to return to the pavilion.</p>



<p>Shivam Dube didn't have a good game as he struggled to get going but Hardik Pandya provided the necessary finishing touches to the Indian inning with unbeaten knock of 40 runs in 23 balls and helped India post a good total of 182 runs on the board.</p>

<p><strong>ENGLAND Tour of India 2025: </strong>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<h2><strong>ENGLAND Tour of INDIA 2025 Schedule</strong></h2>
<p>England and India are scheduled to play a five-match T20I series starting on 22 January at Eden Gardens. The two teams will then head to Chennai, Rajkot, Pune, and at last Mumbai for the last match of the series.</p>
<p>Then the two teams will play an ODI series starting on February 6. The ODI series will also wrap up till 12 and the focus will then shift to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. </p>

<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>Pant - 72* (75 innings)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket.

The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition.

<p><span>Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early.

<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand.

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.</p>
<p><strong>Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25)</strong><br>Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played.

<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>"<strong>I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</strong></h2>
<p>In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, <strong>"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. </strong></p>
<p><strong>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."</strong></p>
<p><strong>"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. </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
