Each and every member of a cricket team contributes in his own unique way to its cause. As such, it will be important for Team India to know the workings of each cricketer in the England squad so that they can formulate ways and means to tackle them, irrespective of whether they are batsmen or bowlers.

Keeping this in mind, the Test series between England and Bangladesh is one that the Indians will need to follow closely. Although it is not necessary that the English team for their tour to India may not be exactly the same as it is for the current series, the core unit is likely to be similar and therefore the hosts can have plans in place for them.
