The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala will host India and England on Thursday, March 7, to resume their current five-game Test series. Particularly for tourists from England, the continuous series has been somewhat lengthy.
There is a significant gap between the fourth and fifth tests now that the first four have been completed, and the visitors want to make the most of this break. According to a story in the Telegraph, a few English players made the decision to travel to Bengaluru to play golf before the fifth Test.
According to the sources, renowned batsman and wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow organized the golf trip to Bengaluru.
The squad dispersed throughout the nation over the break in order to maximize the time off. Moreover, it’s important to note that a number of players, including Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, Shoaib Bashir, and Mark Wood, have no interest in playing golf and have moved to Chandigarh, the team’s BCCI-provided base, instead of Bengaluru.
In the last Test, England hopes to secure a consoling victory.
In reference to the current series, the Indian team will attempt to provide yet another outstanding performance in the fifth and final Test in Dharamshala. The team has already secured the five-game match after winning the second, third, and fourth Tests of the series.
India dropped the first Test of the series in Hyderabad, while Ben Stokes and England easily won the first two games. But by winning the upcoming games and even shockingly winning the series, the Indian team pulled off a stunning comeback.
But as they prepare for the fifth Test in Dharamshala, England will look to improve after suffering three straight defeats and secure a consolation victory.
