  1. Dilip Vengsarkar Questions Time Gap Between WTC Final and Start of England Tests Former India cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar has questioned the scheduling of India’s upcoming tour of England, citing that it was ‘absurd’ to have a long gap after the inaugural World Test Championship final. While the much-anticipated summit clash between India and England is set to take place between June 18 and June 22 in Southampton, India’s Test series against England will be played in August.

I am really surprised with the scheduling,” Vengsarkar told Cricketnext. “What kind of a tour is being organised? How can you have a Test match now and you don’t have any cricket for one-and-a-half months, and then you play the Test series.” He continued: “Even if they schedule county matches, one-and-a-half months is too long a period to play county matches. This itinerary is weird. If there is no cricket for one-and-a-half months, it is strange. If India is there to play Test matches, they should continue playing Tests rather than have a gap. Why have Pakistan and Sri Lanka playing T20Is and ODIs in between? That is absurd.” Currently, Team India are in Mumbai and have been undergoing the mandatory quarantine period before flying to the UK. On the other hand, New Zealand are preparing to take on England in the two Tests before the much-anticipated summit clash against India. And, many believes that New Zealand will have the upper hand in the WTC final considering they will get the time to prepare and accustomed to the condition as well.

It will certainly help the Kiwis as well and it will be interesting to see how quickly India adapts to the conditions to give a tough fight to New Zealand.
