Before heading to Australia for the Ashes in the winter, England play seven Tests at home against New Zealand and India this summer
England skipper Joe Root says a clean sweep against the top two sides in Test cricket — India and New Zealand — will be the best preparation for the iconic Ashes series against arch rivals Australia later this year. Before heading to Australia for the Ashes in the winter, England play seven Tests at home against New Zealand and India this summer. They will take on the Blackcaps for a two-match red-ball series, starting June 2 and then clash with India in a five-Tests series across August and September.More Related News
