Last Time India Played Test Series In England:- Under new Test skipper Shubman Gill, India will embark on the India vs England Test series 2025, which consists of five Test matches, starting June 20 at Headingley. After Headingley, the series will be played out at Edgbaston, Lord’s, Old Trafford, and it will conclude at the Kennington Oval.
The new skipper, Gill, aged 25 and who himself is under the pressure of not having a solid record away from home, and head coach Gautam Gambhir have their task cut out as they usher the side into the era post the retirements of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and R. Ashwin.
The Indian pace attack will have to hold their own in the absence of Mohammed Shami, while Jasprit Bumrah is likely to play only three Tests due to workload management. This means India are short of both experience and strength in both batting and bowling departments.
They will be up against the spirited Bazballers, who have not lost a single Test series at home since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum joined hands in mid-2022.
India have not won a Test series in England since 2007, when Rahul Dravid’s side won the three-Test series by 1-0. Since then, India have toured England for four Test series, losing thrice and drawing once.
