"I think Bumrah is going to carry a huge amount of the bowling attack. So I think England will have the better of India in these conditions," Smith further stated. The Indian team will also be without R Ashwin, who retired after the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane last December.

Hayden, Smith feel Indias inexperience could hurt them in England
Leeds, Jun 20 (PTI) India have "lost a lot of experience" with the recent retirements of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and are going to struggle in the seaming conditions of England, reckoned cricket legends Matthew Hayden and Graeme Smith. India will be led by Shubman Gill in the five-match Test series, which is starting at Headingley from Friday, and the touring party's batting line-up will be thin on experience with both Kohli and Rohit announcing their retirements from the format last month. "I feel India are really going to struggle. Shubman Gill is a young captain coming to this hostile environment, seaming conditions, bouncing conditions. It's going to be a real challenge, it's actually absolutely the litmus test as a touring team," Hayden told the ICC. "Generally touring teams come here and it is polar opposite conditions to what you are used to as fundamentally as a player, be it young or old. So lots of adjustments, so I predict that England, let me tell you, are a going to have a pretty good party at the end of that series," the former Australia opener said. Weighing with his prediction for the blockbuster series, former South Africa captain Smith feels the peerless Jasprit Bumrah will be overburdened in conditions too familiar to England. "England at home, they really do play well at home. They understand the conditions and get the best out of it. I think it's going to be a challenge for Shubman and his team, lost a lot of experience, got to come here and that pressure shifts onto different people..." Smith said. "I think Bumrah is going to carry a huge amount of the bowling attack. So I think England will have the better of India in these conditions," he added. Besides Kohli and Rohit, there will also be no R Aswhin, who called it quits after the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane last December. The last time India won a Test series in England was in 2007, only the third instance (1971 and 1986 being the other two) when the visitors emerged victorious in that part of the world since the start of bilateral engagements in 1932.

Fantastic to see two legends honoured with Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy: Jay Shah on England-India Test series
ICC Chair Jay Shah expressed his joy on India and England greats Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson have been honoured with a newly named trophy – the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy – which will be up for grabs in the five-Test series between the two nations. The five-Test series between the two sides, starting Friday, will also mark the beginning of the next ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle for both teams. "With the new WTC cycle under way it's fantastic to see two legends honoured with the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy for men's Test series between England and India. Equally special is the continued acknowledgement of the Pataudi family, with the introduction of the Pataudi Medal to be awarded to the winning captain of each England–India Test series," Shah posted on X. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) unveiled the new trophy, which features the imagery of both Tendulkar and Anderson and also has their signatures engraved on it as a tribute to the two stalwarts. The Pataudi family, after whom the previous Pataudi Trophy was named, will continue to be honoured through the introduction of the Pataudi Medal, a new accolade that will be awarded to the winning captain of the series. India's legendary batter Tendulkar, the first player with 200 Test caps, closed his red-ball career in 2013 with the most runs in the format, a record he still holds with a mammoth 15,921 runs, which include 51 centuries. He has delivered some memorable displays against England, scoring 2,535 runs at an average of 51.73, with a highest score of 193 at Headingley, the venue for the first Test between the two sides starting on Friday. Anderson, who represented England in 188 Test matches, claimed a whooping 704 wickets in the longest format – the third-highest in the format – before bringing the curtains down on his career last year. The seamer brought his best against India, amassing an incredible 149 wickets from 39 Tests, at an average of 25.47, including six five-wicket hauls.

Marco Jansen: My role is making the ball swing and talk for Proteas
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN Marco Jansen (picturerd) discusses his role in leading the Proteas bowling attack alongside Kagiso Rabada, emphasising their strategic approach to exploiting bowling conditions and his awe of Rabada's prowess. Picture: Michael Sherman/IOL Image: Michael Sherman/IOL While it's difficult not to be awestruck at times with Kagiso Rabada bowling at the other end, Marco Jansen is in no doubt about his job of leading the Proteas bowling attack. Jansen was speaking as South Africa received a hero's welcome on Wednesday, after the Proteas beat Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's, in London, over the weekend. The tall left-arm quick once again proved the perfect foil for Rabada as the pair claimed eight wickets together in the first innings as Australia were bowled out for 212. That set the tone, and despite a match that ebbed and flowed throughout the contest, the Proteas ultimately emerged convincing five-wicket victors to claim their first piece of major ICC glory (not counting the 1998 Champions Trophy).

Bowling with Rabada though, is still sometimes a surreal experience, the 26-year-old explained. 'That guy is good, hey. Every time he gets a wicket, I just... There are a couple of moments or times where he took wickets where I just sort of stood back, sort of like taking in the whole scene, what's happening and stuff like that, reminding me when I was in school, seeing him on TV doing similar things and then sort of snapping out of it in an instant and starting celebrating. 'I think to myself, this is unbelievable. But also at the same time, remembering or telling myself that I also have a job to do. 'I can't just take everything in and just be there and go along for the ride if that makes sense.'
