India and England's players were seen practicing for the first game, which will take place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Both teams have some power-packed performers who will provide solid entertainment throughout the game. The 5-match T20I and the 3-match ODI series is a perfect time for the teams to practice hard and settle the team combinations for the upcoming ICC event. 

Watch the video here:

Indian star bowler Mohammed Shami returns to the team after 14 months, which is a good news for the Indian fans. He was outstanding in the ODI WC 2023 but missed out on most of the cricket matches because of his ankle injury. He is finally set to make his comeback to the team, which is much needed for India, at least with the Champions Trophy coming soon.

Am very happy to be back here: Suryakumar Yadav

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav felt nostalgic as he returned to Eden Gardens, Kolkata, where he played four seasons of IPL back in 2014. He was quite happy and excited to be back there and gathered all the memories of those games and the conversations he had with Gautam Gambhir, who was the captain back then. 

SuryakumarYadav also said, "Whenever I sit in the room, I think that I used to come and play here in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 those four years. It was also a beautiful memory as I’ve learned a lot here. Gauti Bhai (Gautam Gambhir) was the captain at that time. I’ve played under him over here and learned a lot of tricks and trades. So I know this place really well and am very happy to be back here."
