India have not lost a home Test series since 2012, and incidentally, England were the last team that registered a series win in the longest format of the game on Indian soil.

The upcoming four-match Test series against England will play a key role in determining if India, who are currently at the top of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) table, will make it to the final, scheduled to be held at the iconic Lord’s cricket ground in June.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has booked The Leela Palace in Chennai for both teams, and players will not be allowed to step out of their rooms during the seven-day quarantine period. All the players will be tested for Covid-19 thrice in first three days.

According to Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) secretary RS Ramasaamy, the two Tests would be played without spectators as per a BCCI directive, considering the prevailing pandemic situation.
