2025 is set to be a huge year for Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, who must prove that BazBall can deliver success as well as entertainment across five Tests against the tourists and then the Ashes in Australia.

After centuries against Zimbabwe, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope both keep their place in the line-up as rising Jacob Bethell is forced to wait for another chance, while Chris Woakes leads an exciting but inexperienced bowling attack.

India arrive with a new captain in Shubman Gill and are looking to find their feet following the retirements of legends like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

What their squad, and particularly the batting line-up, might lack in experience, it certainly makes up for with talent, as Gautam Gambhir looks to balance building for the future and success in the present in his first tour of England as coach.

India's real trump card is pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, the best in the world across all formats, while spin options like Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar have made light work of the hosts in the past.
