New Delhi. The IPL i.e. T20 Surur will end on June 3 and after that the eyes will turn towards England because the Indian team equipped with new players will leave for London for the 5 Test series. After a long time, without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s team will participate in the Test series, there is a question on the batting of the team, but the veteran of England believes that this team will give England a tough challenge to their bowlers.
The legendary batsman of his time Geoffrey Boycott believes that despite scoring a century against Zimbabwe, England’s Jack Croly and Oli Pope have recovered from their ‘technical and mental problems’, it would not be right to say. Boycott believes that he will get the real challenge in the series of five Test matches against India next month.
Boycott opened the batting
Jyophary Boycott, famous for his brilliant technique and defense, believes that the last few months have been very difficult for John Croly. He continued to struggle in New Zealand, where his average was less than nine and he was dismissed by Matt Henry in all six innings. There was also 2024 ups and downs for the Pope. After playing a brilliant innings of 196 runs in the first Test against India in Hyderabad, there was a lack of consistency in his performance. Boycott wrote in his column in the Daily Telegraph, “We can’t reach the conclusion right now that Crowley and Pope have solved their technical and mental problems, which were affecting their career, because Zimbabwe’s bowling was very average.
Indian fast bowling will test
Speaking on English batting, Boycott further said that Zimbabwe bowler was a medium -speed bowler, who was not sufficient to highlight any flaw in Croly and Pope’s batting. We have to wait until the series against India, so that it can be seen whether there is a really improvement against better bowlers. This will be a real test for them and from this we can better assess what position he is in now. India has fast bowlers like Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, famous Krishna and Arshdeep Singh who have the ability to demolish any batting order. The first match of the five -Test series between India and England will be played in Leeds from 20 June.
