The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 is all set to begin with the clash between England and India in the first Test at Headingley in Leeds on June 20. With this contest, both teams will also begin their World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle. With Rohit Sharma’s Test retirement on May 7, Shubman Gill will now be holding the reins of India’s Test side and his responsibility will be to help his side win the second Test series on English soil.
The task won’t be simple for India as the hosts have played an exceptional brand of red-ball cricket recently. However, Team India supporters will be hopeful of their side to be belligerent against Ben Stokes and his men.
