The captain of England, Ben Stokes, warned his teammates who do not assume that the Indian team is weaker than before due to recent Virat Test Retirees Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

“You can never take any Indian team lightly, even if the fact that they are not found without two of its great batters,” he said in a video posted by England and Wales Cricket Board.

The SUV emphasized the rich force of the Bank of India, which empowers a strong batting order. It also accredited Indian Premier League (IPL) for operating as a talent center and producing high quality players in each edition of the tournament.

“One thing about India is its battery of batters; it is simply incredible. The time I spent in the IPL have batters that leave there,” said the patron of England.

In addition, the 33 -year -old also mentioned how the English team will seek to capitalize on India, taking into account the absence of Kohli and Rohit in their batting alignment.

“We always seek to get out of the opposition at the beginning of the trial match and then we see how we adapt throughout the game as it progresses. But I know they have two great retirements. They have been such an important part of the Indian team and all the success they have had,” he added.

India will travel England for a five -game test series next month. After the sudden retirement of the test of the Captain of India, Rohit Sharma, the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) has not yet announced its new captain for the red ball format. The team’s final announcement is expected to be published this week.

In particular, England captain Ben Stokes is returning to the International Cricket in this series.
