Preview

The first Test match between England and the West Indies (ENG vs WI), scheduled for July 10–14, will take place at the storied Lord’s Cricket Stadium. It’s worth noting that after this exciting Test match, England’s great bowler James Anderson will officially retire from international cricket. This will be his final Test match.

The playing eleven for the first Test has already been revealed by the ECB. Under Ben Stokes‘ leadership, the team will be captained by two new players, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson, who will be making their debuts. Nonetheless, a few players were left off of the team that competed in the previous Test series earlier this year against Team India.

However, Kiargg Brathwaite is expected to captain the visiting team, and the series will feature star cutter Jason Holder, who was forced to withdraw from the 2024 T20 World Cup due to injury. The Windies team, which will be put to the test at home against a formidable English team, is particularly impressive right now.

Pitch Report

The Lord's Cricket Ground's track is always known to be a treat for the faster bowlers. Overcast and humid conditions favour fast bowlers with early swing. As the match progresses, it may favour batters, with spinners becoming influential in later stages.
