Shubman Gill-led India, will take on England in the first Test match of their five-match series from June 20 to 24 at Headingley in Leeds. Gill is Team India’s new Test captain after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the longest format. The much awaited Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which honours two of cricket’s greatest icons, will be up for grabs, along with valuable World Test Championship points. The weather could heavily influence the outcome. The conditions are expected to be predominantly overcast for the entire duration of the match, which could pose significant challenge for the batters, with rain expected.
According to AccuWeather, there will be rain on Day 2 and Day 3, lasting for about an hour each morning. This could interupt the start of the play. Rain is expected on Day 3 and Day 4. However, Day 1 and Say 5 are expected to remain clear.
Rain is likely to impact all the games. Considering the conditions, it’s possible that Shubman Gill will opt for four fast bowlers, while choosing one from Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, or Kuldeep Yadav as the team’s only spin option.
