This five-Test series, which runs from June to August 2025, promises to be a significant challenge for both fans and players. With the retirement of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket, the responsibility now falls on the rejuvenated Indian squad led by Gill to demonstrate their capabilities in the demanding English conditions.
The matches will take place at various iconic venues, including Headingley in Leeds, Edgbaston in Birmingham, Lord's and The Oval in London, and Old Trafford in Manchester.
