New Delhi. Former left-arm spinner Monty Panesar has described India as “favorite” compared to England and has predicted a 2–0 win in the five-match Test series. This series will be played under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill. India has intensified its preparations in Beknham to prepare for the first Test, which will start in Headingley from 20 June.
Monty said, “I think India has an advantage because they have players who have played county cricket. I think India is a favorite and they will probably win 2-0. But the main thing will be how they face seaming conditions. If there are green pitches, I think I think England is a favorite, but if there is a flat pitch, I think India has a chance to win.” Let us know that the series will run from June 20 to August 4, in which match will be played in Handingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lords and The Oval (London), and Old Trafford (Manchester).
England team for first Test against India: Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Betthel, Harry Brook, Bridon Cars, Sam Cook, Zack Croly, Ben Docket, Jamie overton, Oli Pope, Jo Root, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Ben Stokes (Captain), Josh Tung, Chris Vox.
