England need to convincingly defeat India, says Swann

The Test series against India is the perfect Ashes warm-up for England

- 

Former England spinner Graeme Swann believes England need to convincingly defeat India in the five-Test series, which is scheduled to begin on June 20 at the Headingley Cricket Ground, as a build-up to the Ashes which will be played in Australia later this year.

England finished the 2023-25 World Test Championship cycle in a dismal fifth place, having won only 10 of their 22 matches, with 11 defeats and one draw to their name.
