Many see England as the underdogs in the upcoming four-match Test series as India have a formidable home record. But Gough backed the England pacers to have an impact on Indian soil. Speaking to TOI, the 50-year-old said:
Gough urged the England bowlers to attack the stumps, especially while coming up against the likes of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Cheteshwar Pujara.
India are unbeaten against England at home in their last six encounters, winning four of those Tests. However, the visitors will be high on confidence following their recent 2-0 triumph in Sri Lanka.
Can England qualify for the ICC World Test Championship final?
After the postponement of Australia’s tour to South Africa, New Zealand have confirmed their place in the ICC World Test Championship final. Hence, one team among India, England, and Australia are set to face the Kiwis at Lord’s later this year.
However, England have their task cut out as they will need to win at least three of the four Tests against India to book their place in the final. On the other hand, even a 2-1 series win will do for the home team.
