ENGLAND are now setting their sights on India after beating Sri Lanka in a terrific series.

Joe Root‘s men were only able to play nine Test matches in the last 12 months, but outplayed the hosts in Galle on a spinning deck.

Root will lead England’s Test team into a huge 2021

With The Ashes in Australia coming up at the end of the year, England will be hoping to gain some momentum before heading Down Under.

What’s the India series TV latest?

English test cricket could return to TERRESTRIAL TV with Channel 4 hoping to jump in and grab the India series at the lat minute.

Negotiations have dragged on between the part publicly-funded broadcaster, as well as Sky Sports and BT Sport all interested in grabbing the rights.

Channel 4 last broadcast cricket 15 years ago and have been in talks with Indian host broadcaster Star Sports, who initially wanted exclusive rights to stream the series in the UK.

But they have seen common sense and are happy for the series to be hosted by a British broadcaster, describing the offer from C4 as “compelling”.
