India vs England 2018: 5 things England must do to put an end to their Test woes

#5 Where's the Passion?

The tame defeat to Pakistan at Lord’s was followed by a huge outrage on social media led by former captain Michael Vaughan.

While some questioned the passion of the team, others called for senior players like Stuart Broad to be dropped. England responded to the criticism in typical fashion. They dismantled Pakistan in the second Test with Broad leading the charge with the ball. This really only poses more questions. Why must it take a huge uproar for England to perform? Why must players’ positions be in jeopardy for them to give it their all? Is representing your country in the most prestigious format not motivating enough?

While England managed to put an end to their winless run, India will be licking their lips. India have been playing some good cricket for a while now and are deservedly ranked number one in the world. A closely contested series against South Africa showed that this young team is up for the fight.

Albeit they were comprehensively outplayed in their last two tours to England, this will be their best chance to beat them in a long time.
