England Cricket Team have reached Dharamsala for the fifth and final IND vs ENG Test starting Feb 7. After the loss in Ranchi that essentially helped India seal the series 3-1, Jonny Bairstow gave his teammates a golfing vacation gift. Some of the players travelled to Bengaluru to play golf while others stayed in Chandigarh. With the vacation now over, Ben Stokes & Co have reached the venue for IND vs ENG 5th Test.
Dharamsala could be considered as England’s second home with the temperature and weather similar to London at the moment. To make it feel more home, England cricketers were greeted with rainfall.
On Monday, England will have their first practice session at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala at 1:30 PM.
“Indian cricket team’s practice session will be held at 9.30 am tomorrow. Meanwhile, the England cricket team’s practice session will be held at 1.30 pm tomorrow,” Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association’s Vishal Sharma told PTI.
