The recently concluded Test series between England and Sri Lanka might have been the most fruitful one for England but it certainly wasn’t the most ideal series for their opening batsman Dom Sibley who has registered scores 4, 2, 0, and 56* in the 2 Tests. With Rory Burns all set to return for the series against India, it is possible that Dom Sibley might lose his place in the side as England would look to open with Zack Crawley and Rory Burns.
England whitewashed Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka which has been a significant boost for the English side with the series against India approaching in just 2 weeks’ time. Though numerous injuries hit Sri Lanka prior to the series, England will be facing a full-strength Indian side who are currently high on confidence after the series win against Australia.
