The stage is set for one of cricket바카라™s fiercest rivalries to reignite as India and England lock horns in a five-match Test series starting June 20 at Headingley, Leeds. Spanning five venues--Headingley, Edgbaston, Lord바카라™s, Old Trafford, and The Oval--the Anderson-Tendulkar series will witness India바카라™s next generation step into the spotlight.

With Indian legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin missing from the lineup, the visitors will be led by a new skipper in Shubman Gill. Rishabh Pant is returning to the red-ball format as vice-captain and wicketkeeper.

For England, all-rounder Ben Stokes returns from a hamstring injury to lead the Three Lions. The 34-year-old바카라™s comeback is complemented by a few surprises in England바카라™s squad, including the recall of Jamie Overton and the return of the Indian Premier League 2025 breakout star Jacob Bethell.
