The Indian Cricket team is currently in England for the WTC Final to be played between 18th-22nd June 2021 at Southampton. After the final the team will stay in England for a 5-match Test series which also happens to be their first series of the WTC 2021-2023 cycle. The series will commence on 4th August 2021 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham and will last till 14th September 2021 with the last match being played at the Old Trafford in Manchester.
Trent Bridge, Nottingham
The small boundaries and the flat pitch pretty much favours the batsman. Beware of the Overcast skies as it suddenly starts seaming around over here!
Lord's, London
The hollowed turf as Lord's is generally a good bowling surface and the batting is generally difficult when the ball is going down the slope. Over the recent years the pitch over here is batting friendly.
Headingley, Leeds
This ground in Yorkshire is a batting paradise and it doesn't provide much help to the bowlers. The surface is slower than most of the pitches in England and is nice to play your shots right from the time you are at the crease.
The Oval, London
Much like Headingley, The Oval is a slow surface where the ball nicely comes on the bat. There are some big scores on offer.
Old Trafford, Manchester
This is the truest and the bounciest surface in the country and is competitive for both batsman and bowlers.
