Mark Butcher said on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘The one thing they did to save Test cricket was the World Test Championship. The point is that your bilateral series has to capture the imagination of the fans and the players of the two countries playing in it. Then there’s the wider audience of cricket and the only way to do that is to be competitive and it’s always been that way. It’s like surrender: Mark Butcher Mark Butcher further said, ‘Wherever this has happened, change has been seen. There has also been an increase in the salaries of players. I have no problem with all these things that are being discussed between the board and the players but this is like surrender.

Jonny Bairstow told Sky Sports, ‘I have full hope that there will be turn in the Indian pitches. Even if not on the first day, by doing this the hosts are doing wrong to their fast bowlers. We know how strong the Indian team is. India can make a different kind of pitch. There is no need to turn in this. We have seen that their fast bowling lineup has been very strong recently. The experienced player remembered the last series against India in his own home. Jonny Bairstow further said, ‘Last time Axar Patel and Ashwin bowled very well. You forgot that our team players also performed very well in the first test match.

The performance of the England team has also been very good in Test cricket in the recent times and the Indian team has also played very good cricket. England would also know very well that it is very difficult to defeat India in their own home ground. England last defeated India in a Test series at home in 2012.
