The war of words has begun ahead of the India-England Test series. England’s cricketers are making statements left and right. Now, England’s fast bowler Chris Woakes has spoken about Rohit Sharma’s and Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket. He says it’s a shame they won’t be playing.
Woakes talked to ESPNcricinfo and said, “It’s always good to play a strong opponent in a tough series. We’ve had a great rivalry with Virat and Rohit over the years. It’s a shame for the game that they won’t be playing Tests anymore.”
What’s at stake
The India-England series is going to be a big deal. The two teams will clash in a five-match Test series. England is looking to make a comeback after a tough year. India, on the other hand, wants to prove its strength at home.
- England’s team is looking strong with players like Joe Root and Ben Stokes.
- India’s team has a mix of experienced and young players like Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah.
The series is going to be a test of skill and strength for both teams. The mind games have already begun, and it will be interesting to see how the series unfolds.
