Jimmy Overton is making a comeback after a long time
The team announced by the England and Wales Cricket Board for the first Test has 14 players. The special thing is that Jimmy Overton is making a comeback after a long time. He played his last Test match in 2022, then he played against New Zealand, now he can also be seen playing against the Indian team. Jacob Bethell, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse have also been given a place in the team. However, all these players were not part of the team in the recent Test match played against Zimbabwe.
Gus Atkinson out, Jamie Overton returns for this reason
Jamie Overton is believed to have been called up for the first Test as Gus Atkinson is out due to a hamstring strain. Although England were initially confident that Atkinson would recover from the injury in time for the first Test, he is not fully fit yet. Mark Wood and Ollie Stone have already been ruled out of the series due to knee injuries, while Jofra Archer will not be match fit until the second Test due to a thumb problem.
The series is important for the Indian team
The first match of this series will be played at Headingley. After this the caravan will go to Edgbaston, Lord’s and Emirates Old Trafford. The fifth and last match of the series is at the Oval.
