SURVIVING THE SUB-CONTINENT: INDIA SERIES PREVIEW

SIMON HUGHES AND MARK BUTCHER LOOK AHEAD TO ENGLAND'S TOUR OF INDIA

With England’s five-Test tour of India beginning on Wednesday, The Cricketer editor Simon Hughes and former England batsman Mark Butcher – who averaged 43 across three Tests in India – join Betway Insider’s Tom Clee to discuss the forthcoming series over a Brick Lane curry. 

How will England fare in sub-continental conditions as they face India in five Tests in six weeks? How will Cook, Root, Stokes and co deal with India’s dual spin threat of Ravi Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja? How will England’s spinners put their own mark on proceedings? And, most importantly, how should the players approach their diet?

The first Test at Rajkot starts at 4am GMT on Wednesday morning.
