Where to watch India vs England first Test live in India? The Indian Test cricket team will move into a new era with the India vs England Test series 2025, which will start on June 20, with Shubman Gill at the helm and following the retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin.
As they were in the BGT 2024-25 in Australia, India will miss the services of Mohammed Shami, while Jasprit Bumrah, who carried the bowling attack in Australia, is told to play three out of five Tests in this series to manage his back injury and workload.
England, too, are light on strength and experience in the bowling department. While James Anderson and Stuart Broad had been retired for a while, their three express pacers, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, and Gus Atkinson, are recovering from injuries and will certainly miss the first Test and could miss more matches.
The India vs England Test Series 2025 will be the first series for both these teams in the ICC WTC 2025-27 cycle.
