BCCI treasurer and IPL president Arun Dhumal said he did not expect England to be in trouble in the fifth Test against India after getting “the best pitch, outfield and weather conditions in England” in Dharamshala It also crashed within three days of the last test. England fell behind by an innings and scored 64 runs in the fifth Test in three days as India registered an impressive 4-1 series victory.

The visiting team is expected to perform better in the final game as the conditions offered by this mountain town are similar to those in their own country.

“It’s been a phenomenal series, if you saw the way it started, which was a 1-1 draw, and how it went on, the performance of the Indian team was phenomenal…” Dhumal told reporters in PTI video.

“I think the English players to a certain extent are not able to fully commit despite the fact that we offer the best conditions in England in terms of the pitch, the outfield, the weather. It’s unfortunate that they can’t take advantage of that, but that happens in any game. , I am sure they will come back,” he said.

Dhumal stopped short of calling the Indian team invincible, but heaped praise on the team’s bench strength.

The team was without star players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Mohammad Shami during the series. However, young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan performed well for the team.

“Looking at the talent we have, we’ve seen that even when the best players leave the team, others will take their place.

“…They have done an outstanding job and I am confident that the Indian team will continue to grow from strength to strength going forward,” Dhumal said.

Dhumal also feels that the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association has been unfairly maligned for poor field conditions ahead of the final Test.

“It’s mainly because of the weather conditions. You see, the kind of outfield we offer, everyone appreciates that it’s the best outfield in the world.

“I’m very grateful to the HPCA officials who worked hard overnight to get an outfield like this, it was a huge effort from everyone,” he noted.
