========================================================
Looks like a very tough one for England.
England Men’s Test Squad:
Joe Root (Yorkshire) (captain), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Dom Bess (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Rory Burns (Surrey), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Ben Foakes (Surrey), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Jack Leach (Somerset), Dom Sibley (Warwickshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Olly Stone (Warwickshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire).
Reserves:
James Bracey (Gloucestershire), Mason Crane (Hampshire), Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire), Matthew Parkinson (Lancashire), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Amar Virdi (Surrey).
Jofra Archer, Rory Burns and Ben Stokes return to the squad. Archer and Stokes were rested for the Sri Lanka series and Burns was at home for the birth of his first child.
Surrey’s Ollie Pope will travel to India and will be added to the squad when passed fit. Pope is recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in September during the Test series against Pakistan.
The National Selectors have provided a block of rest for Jonathan Bairstow, Sam Curran and Mark Wood. The three players, who are currently in Sri Lanka, will miss the first and second Tests in India.
This is consistent with the selection policy of finding a block of rest for all multi-format players at some point during post-Christmas winter schedule.
With Archer and Stokes returning, and subject to fitness of the rest of the squad, Somerset’s Craig Overton will return home after the Sri Lanka series.

Nzl have not won any test series against the other teams in top 4.

NZ played a load of home series and produced wickets full of grass while India did the opposite with spin as we have just witnessed.

Atleast India defeated a top team overseas, Nzl did not. ICC need to reconsider formats and have international rather than local curators

These days invariably home teams wins. India winning in Australia was an exception
----------------------------------------------------------------------
India winning in England in a few months will also be an exception
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A nice two day pitch will be prepared covered in cat litter for the Indian team?

TBH - England we're beaten on spinning and seaming wickets in India.
But keep up the excuses

Don’t panic, the national religion of India is something the nation should be pleased we introduced. Same with the Aussies, without their National game what would the two nations go on about

That is a cricket comment. Keep up.
The National game of India and Aus. Winning at home with home pitch preparation and cat litter. An English summer on green wickets will be great. Anderson bowling round corners.
