Global warming effect on India vs England Test series : For the last several years, concern has been raised about global warming all over the world and efforts are being made to stop it. The serious and bad consequences of changes in the climate of the earth are constantly visible. But what does it have to do with the Test series between India and England? It is natural to be a question, but it seems that this global warming may affect the series and Team India can benefit. The reason for this is lack of rain. What is the whole matter, let’s explain.
The importance of England in the cricket world is not just because this game started from there and there is a grounds of Lord’s. Rather, playing Test cricket in this country is also considered special because playing cricket in the summer is a very good experience. In the summer of England, it often rains, due to which the weather remains pleasant for Test cricket. However, the fast bowlers get the benefit of this and they create difficulties for the batsmen.
Impact of global warming on Test series
It is here that the effect of global warming is seen. A report by England’s famous cricket magazine Wisden has revealed that this time in England has been more hot and dry than the last few years. That is, England has not received much rainfall in the summer season compared to the previous years. The month of May has been the hottest in the last 142 years. Its impact seems directly to the India-England Test series.
In fact, it usually receives rain in England cricket season i.e. summer season or the sky is cloudy. Due to this, fast bowlers always get help and batsmen are worried due to swing. But this time there will be a possibility of drying up the pitch quickly due to lack of rain and intense heat. This simply means that England cannot take much advantage of its fast bowlers.
Team India can get benefit
But this also means that the fast bowlers of Team India will not be very effective. This may also happen, but here, Team India will get the benefit of these circumstances and the reason is the spinner. The Indian team has been giving 2 spinners in England sometimes in the playing-11. Now if the current dry conditions persist, then Team India will also have a chance to take Kuldeep Yadav besides Ravindra Jadeja.
India is obviously better than England in terms of spin attack. Also, the England batsmen have been seen disturbed in front of Kuldeep’s spin before this. In such a situation, if Team India takes off 2 spinners, then the pan can be heavy in favor of India. In such a situation, Team India has a chance to push England on the backfoot in this series.
Will the weather be dishonest from England itself?
Not only this, the figures of this year’s county championship also narrate this reality. According to Wisden data, the contribution of spinners has been an important contribution in all the matches played this year in the 5 Venue of the Indo-England Test series. Statistics show that all the bowling spinners in these five venue have improved the average in an innings. While the average of the wicket is 44.2 in the first innings, it is 34.5 in the second innings. It is better in the third innings and has reached 32.6, while in the fourth innings it has been 30.8. That is, this time the weather of England can be dishonest for him and kind for India.
