At last, the Englishmen arrive. The England Cricket team arrived in Hyderabad on Sunday to play the formidable Indians in the opening Test match of a five-match series that is scheduled to start on Thursday, following nearly a month of training in the "subcontinent-like conditions" of Abu Dhabi. Despite winning two matches and drawing the Ashes against Australia, England, under the captaincy of Ben Stokes, has not had the best start to their World Test Championship cycle. And now, England's Bazball strategy will face its greatest test to date when it takes on India on the subcontinent.
