If England reaches India 3 days before then it will be a big mistake, why did the former English cricketer say this?
According to reports, England will train in UAE before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Team England (Pic Source-Twitter) After Ben Stokes became the captain and Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach, England have completely changed their red ball approach and they are playing very aggressive cricket at the moment.

According to reports, England will train in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Harmison also said that the team cannot go into the first Test without preparation. They may lose 5-0 – Steve Harmison Speaking to talkSPORT, Harmison said, ‘If England go three days early, they could lose 5-0. You cannot go to India without preparation.

He further said, I would love to know what players like Pietersen, Strauss, Cook would think about England touring India three days before the series. I think they’ll laugh at you.
