This year’s Edgbaston Test sees England welcome the mighty India team for the crucial second match of a five Test series.
After a few years in the doldrums, England’s progress under Brendan McCullum in the longest format has been brilliant to watch, with the ‘Bazball’ style of cricket being in total contrast to the overly-defensive tactics previously employed. England enjoyed a relatively comfortable summer in 2024 with series victories against the West Indies and Sri Lanka.
It is certain the Indians will pose a much stiffer challenge, with a team packed with world class players including the likes of brilliant batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal, the evergreen Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma, all-rounder Ravinder Jadeja, and bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Ashwin. Captain Ben Stokes will lead the home team with aggression and the India team will need to be at the very top of their game if they are to challenge England in current form, with a vociferous Edgbaston crowd.
Can England defeat Rohit Sharma’s men now they have hit such great form?
This fantastic hospitality package includes breakfast, a superb lunch, traditional afternoon tea, and complimentary bar, as well as balcony seating with unbeatable views of the action out in the middle. Past special guest names in the lounge have included the likes of Nasser Hussain, Dominic Cork, David Gower, Kane Williamson and Jonathan Trott.
