ECB CEO: 'Series Vs India On Par With Ashes In Terms Of Commercial Importance'
Last Updated: The upcoming India-England Test series is as commercially significant as the Ashes, says ECB chief Richard Gould. The upcoming five-match Test series between India and England holds commercial significance comparable to the Ashes, according to ECB chief executive officer Richard Gould. He is hopeful that the series will reignite the interest of English fans after a lacklustre international summer in 2024. Last year, sports enthusiasts in England were captivated by the Paris Olympics and the Euro, Europe's premier football tournament. The sight of empty seats at Lord's following England's series win over Sri Lanka was disheartening for cricket. However, Gould is optimistic about a successful summer, thanks to the popularity of the Indian team. 'We know how big it is. It is a huge summer," Gould was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. 'Last summer, there were all sorts of things happening all over the place, weren't there? 'I think that is one of the great things about a five-Test series: it is a proper long-read; it's something that people can get really into. There will be subplots, and sub-subplots. There will be all sorts of issues over that six-week period," Gould added. Though stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin may have retired from Test cricket recently, India's significant presence in the sport ensures any series involving them rivals the Ashes in commercial importance. 'Certainly, in terms of commercial importance," Gould said. The series also marks the start of a new cycle for both India and England in the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC). India has not clinched a Test series win in England since 2007, and their last tour in 2021-22 ended in a 2-2 draw. Gould is also enthusiastic about the resurgence of five-match Test series. 'There's been lots of discussion about short formats, but Test cricket is doing quite a resurgence in its own way," he said. 'Particularly with the five-Test series: we're seeing more of those than we have done for a long time." Regarding future WTC finals, Gould believes England has an edge over other contenders like India since it can attract crowds even for matches involving neutral teams. 'The WTC, for us, is not the be-all and end-all. Because we also enjoy the Ashes and we will enjoy the India series," Gould said, ahead of last week's final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's. The recent WTC final was the third consecutive one held in England, and the ICC is likely to confirm that England will continue to host future finals despite interest from India. 'We don't think that we've got any absolute right to be the continual host of the WTC (final), but there are advantages to having it here. Irrespective of who gets into the final, we will sell it out… We're probably the only member nation within the ICC that could deliver that. 'We recognise that perhaps others would like to take it around the world at some point… But the worry is if you move it, end up with two neutral teams, and don't get a crowd, the whole thing could devalue and deflate pretty quickly."

Bowlers don't hide behind the bat: Bumrah on pacers' cricket career
Jasprit Bumrah, India's pace spearhead, has opened up about the physical and mental toll of being a fast bowler in modern cricket, especially in the demanding Test format. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of India's five-Test series in England, Bumrah spoke about managing workloads, the challenges of leading an attack, and his views on leadership in a transitioning Indian side. With several senior players having retired recently and a new generation stepping in, Bumrah's insights reflect a pragmatic, long-term view. He said bowlers can't hide behind the bat and must be smart about preserving their bodies to ensure longevity. 'I still want to play for a long time,' he said, stressing the importance of workload management and smarter choices. Transitioning from T20 to Tests Bumrah said adapting from the high-speed T20 format to the grind of Test cricket demands careful workload planning. During the IPL, he coordinated with trainers and physios to gradually increase bowling volume. "We don't just bowl four overs in IPL; we build it up with six to eight and warm-up overs,' he said, adding that this routine helps avoid sudden spikes in physical strain. A young dressing room Reflecting on the current Test squad, Bumrah called it a fresh, youthful group with a 'fearless vibe.' Having gone from being one of the youngest to among the seniors, he said he has enjoyed sharing his experiences, especially with the Duke's ball and changing English conditions. On new skipper Shubman Gill, Bumrah stated that his role would be one of quiet support. 'I want him to lead freely,' he said, adding that he will step in with suggestions only when required. Leadership and the captaincy call Bumrah also revealed that he opted out of being considered for Test captaincy due to fitness considerations. While the BCCI had him in mind for the role, Bumrah said he stepped back after consulting medical experts about his back issues. 'It wasn't fair to play only a few matches in a five-Test series and still lead,' he said, adding that contributing as a senior player matters more to him than a title.

India, playing without regular captain Rohit Sharma , lost the rescheduled Test, and the series ended 2-2. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli having stepped away from red-ball cricket, the young Indian side, now under new captain Shubman Gill, will face a tough challenge in English conditions.

He played three Tests during the series, taking eight wickets and scoring two half-centuries in the fourth Test.

The first one also we could have won, but unfortunately, it rained on the last day and we couldn't chase down the total. But then we won in Lord's, then we won in The Oval, and then we came back for the fifth Test next year. The series was level, but that was one of the fondest memories of mine, one of the best Test series that I have been part of," he recalled. India will be eyeing a historic win, as they look to clinch a Test series in England for the first time since 2007. The five-match series also marks India's first assignment in the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship cycle.
