England vs India head-to-head, series result, IND-ENG Test cricket history
The much-anticipated 1st Test between India and England kicks off on June 20, 2025, at Headingley, where every blade of grass seems to whisper cricket history. As both teams look to begin the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle on a high, let's dive into the numbers that define this iconic Test rivalry. India vs England Head-to-Head record (Overall) India and England have clashed in 136 Test matches to date since 1932. England maintain a historical edge, but the gap has been narrowing, especially in recent years. Despite the early dominance of England, the last decade has seen India significantly improve their Test performances both home and away. India has won 4 of the last 5 Tests against England, showcasing their growing confidence in this historic rivalry. India vs England Last 5 Tests Match Result Winner Venues India won by innings and 64 runs India Dharamsala India won by 5 wickets India Ranchi India won by 434 runs India Rajkot India won by 106 runs India Vishakhapatnam England won by 28 runs England Hyderabad India's Struggles in England Winning a Test series in England remains India's Achilles heel. The last time they conquered English soil in a series was back in 2007. Since then, despite coming close, most notably in 2022, they've struggled to finish the job. In 2022, India were leading the series but couldn't seal it in the rescheduled final Test (in Manchester), adding to the heartbreak. As the 2025 series begins, both teams bring a mix of youth and experience. For India, it's about unfinished business and rewriting history in England. For England, it's about defending home turf and reasserting dominance. One thing's certain: the tea will be hot, and the contest even hotter.

It began on June 25, 1932, when India played its first-ever Test match at Lord's. Led by C.K. Nayudu, India faced an experienced England side captained by Douglas Jardine. England won that historic Test by 158 runs, but it marked the beginning of a rich cricketing legacy between the two nations. For decades, England dominated the rivalry, particularly at home, but India gradually found its footing. A turning point came in 1971 when India, under Ajit Wadekar, clinched its first-ever series win in England, a feat anchored by the brilliance of Sunil Gavaskar and the spin of Bhagwat Chandrasekhar. To commemorate 75 years of India's first tour of England, the Pataudi Trophy was introduced in 2007. It was named in honour of Mansur Ali Khan "Tiger" Pataudi, India's youngest Test captain, and his father Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, the only cricketer to have played Tests for both England and India. The trophy has since been awarded to the winner of India-England Test series played in England. With over 135 Tests played, this rivalry remains a cornerstone of international cricket, steeped in history, prestige, and fierce competition.

World Bank urges 'radical' debt transparency to prevent future crises
The World Bank is urging "radical" debt transparency for developing countries and their lenders to stave off future crises, it said in a report released on Friday. The Bank wants to broaden the depth and detail of what sovereign countries disclose regarding new loans, as more of them enter complex, off-budget borrowing deals due to global market turmoil. "When hidden debt surfaces, financing dries up and terms worsen," World Bank senior managing director Axel van Trotsenburg said in a statement, adding: "Radical debt transparency, which makes timely and reliable information accessible, is fundamental to break the cycle." The Bank wants countries to make legal and regulatory reforms that mandate transparency when signing new loan contracts and to share more granular debt data. It also wants more regular audits, the public release of debt restructuring terms, and for creditors to open their loan and guarantee books. It is calling for better tools for international financial institutions to detect misreporting. The World Bank and other multilateral banks have been pressing for years to improve lending transparency. The proportion of low-income countries reporting some debt data is now above 75 per cent, up from below 60 per cent in 2020. But only 25 per cent of them disclose loan-level information. As financing costs spike due to trade wars and geopolitical risk, more countries are using arrangements such as central bank swaps and collateralized transactions that complicate reporting. Angola recently had to pay a $200-million margin call after a rout in its bond prices. In Nigeria, the central bank disclosed in early 2023 that billions of US dollars of its foreign exchange reserves were tied up in complex financial contracts negotiated by the previous leadership. The Bank said broader loan coverage and deeper loan-by-loan disclosures would enable the international community to fully assess public debt exposure.
