After a 0-2 debacle against Ireland in the T20I series, India begin the tour of England, where the two teams are set to square off in five T20Is and two ODIs, while no Tests are scheduled in this assignment.
The T20I series is expected to be a much bigger challenge for India than first anticipated, after Shreyas Iyer’s men were swept aside in both matches by Ireland. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India’s 15-year-old prodigy who didn’t get to make his debut against Ireland, is under the spotlight again. But will he be given a debut?
As for England, the country’s cricketing system is currently reeling from the nightclub scandal involving the Test team, which even prompted skipper Ben Stokes to call time on his international career. With skipper Harry Brook, who is also expected to succeed Stokes in the longest format, leading England, there has to be absolute focus on the task at hand, leaving the off-field chatter behind.
