Visakhapatnam: The England team, which is on tour to India, will return to its pre-series training ground in Abu Dhabi and will return to India before the third Test starting on February 15 in Rajkot. The England team will also play golf during this important break.
The visiting team has decided to travel to Abu Dhabi to utilize the 10-day break between the second and third Tests. The second Test in Hyderabad ended with a day left and hosts India made a spectacular comeback after losing the first match of the series to level the series 1-1.
The team will prepare
England have prepared for this highly anticipated Test series with an extensive conditioning camp in Abu Dhabi instead of arriving in India early for practice matches. During the Abu Dhabi camp ahead of the series, the England team spent a lot of time working on ways to deal with the Indian spinners.
England won the first match but its batsmen succumbed to the reverse swing bowling of Jasprit Bumrah in the first innings of the second Test and lost in front of the disciplined Indian bowling in the second innings while chasing the record target of 399 runs.
India leveled the series with a 106-run win in the second Test by bowling out England for 292 runs in the second innings on the fourth day here on Monday.
