Expectation increase:
England recently won the three-match Test series 3-0 against New Zealand. Similarly the Indian team played intimidatingly in the training Test. As both the teams alternately show their strength, the anticipation for the Test starting on July 1 is high.
At the same time:
On the same day that the Test match between India and England starts at 3:30 pm on July 1, the Indian T20 team is scheduled to play against England at 11:30 am. With two Indian teams to play in the same day, July 1 has created great anticipation among the fans.
Location for Dinesh Karthik:
The Indian youth team will take part in the inaugural T20 match against England on July 7. After that, the Indian senior team will play in the 2,3rd T20 match against England on July 9 and 10. Thus, Dinesh Karthik is guaranteed a chance in the first T20 match.
The T20 series will be followed by a three-match ODI series between the two teams.
