IND vs ENG: Live streaming details, when and where to watch 1st test of India's tour of England 2025

IND vs ENG 1st test will begin on June 20 at Headingley, Leeds.

Indian Cricket Team and England Cricket Team will lock horns in the first test of India’s tour of England 2025 from June 20, Friday. India will be led by their new test skipper Shubman Gill in the encounter, while Ben Stokes is the captain of England.

Both India and England will commence their journey in ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 with the first test in Leeds. The Ben Stokes & Co. have named their playing XI for the first test. With the likes of Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, and Harry Brook, the hosts have a strong batting unit to dominate the visitors.

However, England lack depth in the bowling department due to the absence of key pacers like Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, and Gus Atkinson. Chris Woakes will lead England’s pace attack in the first test which comprises Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue.

India comprise many youngsters in their squad and their batting department will be a big worry after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement from test cricket. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Gill will have to step up with their batting during the series. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are crucial members in bowling owing to their experience.
