Stuart Broad is one of the most experienced players of the England squad for India Tests 2021. The right-arm pacer will play a crucial role for his side in the series and his performances will be instrumental in deciding the outcome of the series. The India vs England Test series is set to commence on Friday, February 5 in Chennai.

The second match will be played at the same venue from February 13-17. The final two Tests will be played at the newly constructed Sardar Patel Stadium (the biggest cricket stadium in the world) from February 24-28 and March 4-8.

The Test series is extremely crucial for both sides as far as World Test Championship standings and qualification is concerned. England have a rather improbable task at hand as they need to beat India 3-0, 3-1 or 4-0 to qualify for the WTC final. On the other hand, India will have to win at least two Tests against England without losing the other two matches.

England squad for India Tests 2021 (first 2 Tests): Joe Root (Captain), Ben Stokes (Vice-captain), Jos Buttler (Wicket-keeper), Jofra Archer, Moeen Ali, Rory Burns, Zak Crawley, James Anderson, Dom Bess, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Ben Foakes, Dan Lawrence, Dom Sibley, Jack Leach.
