The Legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar believes that the upcoming tour of England will be the golden summer for an Indian cricket team. The Indian cricket team will be in the UK from June to September 14 during which they will spend more than one and a half months between the WTC final and the first test of the 5-match series.
Before the test series against England starting from August 4, India will take on New Zealand in the new World Test Championship final from 18th June in Southampton. Sunil Gavaskar did not predict the scoreline of the five-match series but he feels that it will be an Indian summer in England.
In his column for the Telegraph, Sunil Gavaskar wrote that the summer in England promises to be the golden summer of Indian cricket. After the WTC final, there is a gap of about six weeks before the Test series starts against England and that should be enough for the team to play some practice games and tune-up for what England can hurl at them. It is foolish to try and predict the score but it looks like this summer is in the favor of the team India. He further added that having moaned about the pitches in India earlier this year, it won’t be a surprise if the groundsman in England leaves a little grass on the surface.
