Dharamshala: India-England 5th Cricket Test will start tomorrow in Dharamshala. It is suggested that Malayalee player Devdut Patikal may start playing instead of Rajat Patidar. Ollie Robinson will be replaced by Mark Wood in the England line-up. There is also concern that snowfall and rain in Dharamshala will adversely affect the competition. India had earlier won the five-match series (3-1).

In the first Test, the victory was with England, but in Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Ranchi, the victory was with the hosts. Team India is all set to match the 112-year-old record in the final Test. After losing the first Test, winning the four Tests and taking the series 4-1 would match Australia’s feat in the 1912 Ashes series.

Jasprit Bumrah will return to the Indian bowling line-up in the fifth Test. Either Mohammad Siraj or Akash Deep will miss the opportunity. The Dharamshala pitch, which is expected to support spin, will feature three spinners in the final XI. Fans are worried that the weather will affect the match negatively. Himachal is experiencing heavy snowfall and rain. The weather forecast has also predicted that the temperature in Dharamshala will drop by one degree.
