IND vs ENG: 5 England players you must have in your Dream11 team for first two tests

First test of the IND vs ENG series will be played in Hyderabad from 25th January.

We are just a couple of days away from the start of the highly anticipated five-match test series between India and England. The first test will begin on January 25 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Ben Stokes-led England have reached India and have started their preparations.

The pitches in India are expected to be turning tracks, hence, England have selected four spinners in their squad to do well in the Indian conditions. There will be a number of England players who have already played in Indian conditions, so that might help them. Here we will talk about five English players you can pick for your Dream11 team.

IND vs ENG: 5 England players you must have in your Dream11 team for first two tests

5. Rehan Ahmed :

Rehan Ahmed will be a player to watch out for. He made his debut against Pakistan in 2022 and took seven wickets. He can be a possible threat for Indian batters on rank turners. Rehan has all the skills to challenge the Indian batters. Adding to that, he is also a pretty decent all-rounder that can add runs to improve points for your Dream11 team.

4. Zak Crawley :

One of the prime reasons for England’s success in the “Bazball” era is attacking cricket and it is Zak Crawley who sets the tone from the top. The opener has been consistent with a good strike rate, which puts pressure on the opposition. Though it will be a big challenge for him on Indian soil, if he stays for a while, he can play big innings.

3. Jonny Bairstow :

Jonny Bairstow smashed a hundred when these two teams met each other in a test match. That was the rescheduled test match in Edgbaston in 2022. He took on the Indian bowlers and helped his team chase down a big total. He can do something similar once again. Bairstow will be a key player for England and your Dream11 team in IND vs ENG test series.

2. Ben Stokes :

Ben Stokes loves challenges and he will surely get a number of those in this test series. He has done well since taking over the captaincy and will be a player to be picked as a captain or vice captain for your fantasy team. Stokes will be the one on whom England will rely, his aggressive batting and wicket-taking abilities make him one of the most important players.

1. Joe Root :

Former English captain Joe Root will be the backbone of the team’s batting. He has been a run-machine in the longest format of the game and has had success in India. He smashed a double hundred on the last tour of India in 2021. Root’s scoring ability in the subcontinent will be a very big factor and don’t forget, his off-spin on Indian pitches can do wonders. So pick him as your captain.
