Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team is holding a 3-day camp before their T20I series against England. Sources have told IndiaToday.in that the team will assemble in Kolkata on January 18 and practice for 3 days before playing their series opener at the Eden Gardens Stadium.
The Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav will hope to continue their good work in the format. Under the leadership of Yadav, India have won series against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and South Africa already, with some of the matches shattering multiple records.
Sanju Samson’s promotion at the opener’s spot has been a key finding for the team management, helping them to add to their strength in the position. The new generation of Indian players are present in the 5-match series, starting from Abhishek Sharma to Nitish Kumar Reddy. India are expected to make life difficult for England in home conditions.
