Cricket News : English Test for Indian Team Starts Today

The Indian team cruised to a series victory against Ireland and now they will start the England challenge with T20Is…The first match will be played today in Manchester. The fact that most players played well against Ireland means that the management now has more than a few selection headaches, and one way or another, they will have to leave out some quality players from the playing XI. While selecting the team, the management will also have to consider the long-term implications of their decisions with them needing to narrow down on the shortlist of players for the World Cup. This is the last or the second-last overseas limited overs series before the World Cup squad is announced, and this means that any player that does not get an opportunity on this tour, is most probably not in the selectors' plans for the big tournament next year. On the other side, England have been in tremendous form off late and the way they defeated Australia in the ODI series, Indians need to be wary of their challenge.
