ENGLAND TOUR OF INDIA

The England Team is all set to play three months in India for 4 tests, 2 T20, 5 ODI's. The schedule for the series is known well before.England are currently ranked 2nd in the   ICC test ranking with 117 rating and India is ranked 5th with 106 ratings.Last Time England played in India during Diwali season they were outclassed by the men in Blue who hope to repeat the same script.The series is so long such that an India - Pakistan series is scheduled before the ODI's. It is going to be a long series for India as Australia is also set to tour India and the Physical Strength of our players will be put to test.
