IND vs ENG Test Series: There is tremendous enthusiasm in both the countries about the much-awaited Test series between India and England. The BCCI has already announced India's Test team, and now England has also announced its 14-man squad for the first Test match. This time the match is going to be very interesting, as both the teams look balanced and from young players to experienced stars are ready to take the field.

Jimmy Overton's explosive comeback

The biggest topic of discussion in the England team is the return of fast bowler Jimmy Overton. Overton played his last Test match against New Zealand in 2022, and now after almost two years he is going to get a chance against the Indian team. Apart from this, players like Jacob Bethell, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse have also been included in the team. All these three players were not part of the team in the recent Test series played against Zimbabwe.
