England cricket team attended a press conference after their practice session in Birmingham on Tuesday. Captain Joe Root, responding to the team’s strategy, said, “We are not going to have too many preconceived ideas about what team India has to throw at us. I feel our team gives us great balance on this surface and a good chance to get 20 wickets.” The first Test will be held in Birmingham on Wednesday. This will mark England’s 1000th men's Test match, the first country to reach this milestone.
