'No hiding place' while playing against India: Joe Root says England have 'no room for lapses' for five-Test series

Joe Root is bracing for an intense summer of Test cricket as England prepare to host India in a gruelling five-match series starting June 20 in Headingley. Having witnessed firsthand how formidable India can be in the longest format, the former England captain emphasized the need for consistency, declaring that “there’s no hiding place” against such an imposing opponent. The 34-year-old batting stalwart, who is closing in on second place in the list of all-time Test run-getters, is heading into the series with renewed focus following an individually impressive Champions Trophy campaign. No to captaincy England’s preparations for the India series are part of a broader mission that includes reclaiming the Ashes later this year.
