India vs England 2025: Full 5-Match Test Series Preview, Schedule & Live Streaming Details
There is less than a month left for the 5-match Test series between England and India, which will begin on June 20. This mega series will start in just 25 days. It is the first series for both teams as part of the 2025-2027 Test cycle.
The BCCI announced the Indian Test team for this series on Saturday (May 24), naming a total of 18 players. On the other hand, England recently completed their only Test against Zimbabwe. Indian cricketers, who are currently busy playing in the IPL, will leave for England immediately after the tournament ends.
This time, India will enter the series with a completely young squad. It will be a big challenge for the young Indian team to perform on English pitches. There are doubts about whether they will at least be able to compete with England.
With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announcing their retirement from Test cricket, Shubman Gill has been named the new captain of the Indian Test team. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will act as the vice-captain. On the other hand, the England team looks strong under the captaincy of Ben Stokes. The players in that team have been in great form recently and are determined to win the series.

The Test series between India and England will be telecast live on Star Sports Networks on TV. Live streaming will be available on Jio Hotstar. Jio Hotstar, which currently holds the IPL rights, has also acquired the digital rights for this Test series. All five Test matches will start at 3:30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST).

Pratima Barwa, the coach who gave wings to Adivasi hockey players
Chances are that most outside the modest Indian hockey universe would not have heard of Pratima Barwa. Perhaps she preferred it that way. Barwa, who passed away on Sunday aged 44 due to a brain haemorrhage, dedicated her life to hockey. She did what few could — identify and nurture young talents in one of the sport's biggest catchment areas, Jharkhand's Simdega. Because of her efforts, Indian hockey is in a better place — three players, including captain Salima Tete, are currently part of the national team that is in Europe for the FIH Pro League. Grassroots coaching is one of the most unglamorous parts of sport because of the lack of incentive. Yet, without such coaches, the sporting ecosystem would be a non-starter. Selfless coaches like Barwa, who was from Khunti, have kept Indian hockey running. Her academy was rudimentary, and some of the coaching methods were, possibly, archaic. But Barwa, described as a 'mother figure' by her wards, did something far more impactful — she got children hooked to hockey and gave wings to their dreams. Barwa's own aspirations to play for India were unfulfilled. She played for Bihar in the early 1990s. However, a left knee ligament injury in 1995 cut short her playing career. She then promised herself that she would help young players from the region. Barwa's journey as a coach began in 2008 after she completed a diploma from the National Institute of Sport in Patiala. A job with the Jharkhand government as a coach took her to Simdega, and the hard yards began. From sunrise to sunset, she would travel to schools and villages where there was the slightest promise of talent, convince the families to let their child play hockey and then groom them into world-class talents. Barwa never got the recognition she deserved. Her legacy will, however, be there for all to see each time the Indian team steps onto the hockey field.
