India to take on England in rescheduled 5th Test match at Birmingham today

Birmingham: India will take on England in the rescheduled 5th Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham today. The match will begin at 3 PM India time. India lead the Test series against England 2-1.

Jasprit Bumrah is all set to become the first paceman to lead India in Test cricket since Kapil Dev. Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the Edgbaston Test against England after testing positive for COVID-19 for a second time. Bumrah will lead India in the



series decider in Rohit's absence.

Virat Kohli-led India had taken a 2-1 lead against England last year, but the fifth and final Test had to be cancelled due to a COVID outbreak in the Indian camp. The BCCI and ECB decided to rearrange the remaining Test match this year.

India will also play three T20Is and three ODIs on the tour apart from the rescheduled Test match.
