All the key Indian players have been injured and there is hardly any chance of them being match fit on time. Golden opportunity for England to whitewash us 4-0. And seal the final spot in WTC. problem with England is, they still dont have a good spinner and Moeen isnt going to pull an Ashwin and take 25 wickets at 18 for the series. He is at best a 2nd spinner who can complement a primary spinner on spin wickets or take a few odd wickets after their pacers run roughshod on seaming wickets. Also a big problem with England is, their best player of spin in test cricket- Cook - retired. Now they only have Root and Root has been declining for a while now under pressures of captaincy, Rest of their team is faltu against spin. Frustrated 1 Link to post

deepdynamo 25 Posted Tuesday at 12:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:09 PM I wish India's top cricketer don't play the mindless white ball series vs SL, Zim and even Asia Cup. Concentrate on away England series in July. Arrive early, Play atleast 3 practice matches and be match ready. Remember we have pathetic record against England in England last decade. ( 0-4, 1-3, 1-4). We must fix that in 2021 series. Link to post
Nikhil_cric 1,805 Posted Wednesday at 10:08 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:08 AM Not a fan of playing SENA teams like England so often. We toured them in 2018 for crying out loud. Also needs to be cut to 4 tests. Link to post

Serpico 857 Posted Wednesday at 11:45 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:45 AM We should have had a continuous 14-18 month home season like in 2016-17. Easy to retain the no.1 rank that way. Now we have to win the series in england and SA to retain the rank Link to post

SL Test tour was due in July August window I guess as we toured there in 2017. Poor scheduling 9 BTB tests vs same opposition is overkill. Link to post

We played 13 test matches on the trot along with quite a few ODIs and T20's. Link to post

They should have scheduled england tour next yr and invited Lanka for a 3 match series. A no-pressure 3 match minnow bashing would have been ideal one month before WT20 than a stressful 5 test tour. Imagine if we cop another 1-4, how mentally cooked kohli, rohit and bumrah will be right before the world cup? Link to post
