The India Tour of England Test Series 2025 marks the commencement of a new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for both nations. This five-match Test series is a significant assignment for both India and England, neither of whom qualified for the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, following South Africa’s maiden ICC trophy victory against Australia.
Shubman Gill is set to captain the Indian side, while England will continue to employ their aggressive ‘Bazball’ approach under the leadership of Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. Historically, England has demonstrated dominance in home conditions. However, India’s recent consistent performance, particularly in subcontinent conditions, renders this series highly unpredictable and compelling.
