Who says that the craze for the Test matches is dwindling down? Well, that’s certainly not the case in England, especially in Birmingham, where the tickets for the first four days are already sold out. Mind you, the Test match starts on July 2, 2025! While the Rohit Sharma-led side is currently in Australia for their make-or-break WTC Final series, India’s next Test assignment is up against England.
The England vs India series is already breaking records!
The England-India Test series, known as the Pataudi Trophy, will start right after the World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025. While the WTC final is on June 11, the five-match Test series beckons on June 20 in Leeds. However, the tickets for the second Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham, are already sold out. Only Day 5 tickets are left, with prices ranging from £25 to £299. The price is just £10 for under 16s.
For the first time, days one to four of a non-Ashes Test have sold out in advance, that too, a remarkable seven months before the blockbuster fixture. This success follows recent sell-outs at Edgbaston, including three days of the West Indies test and four days of the Ashes test.
It was the rescheduled fifth Test when the last time Team India played a red-ball game at the venue. England completed a record chase of 378 on the final morning of the fifth Test. Centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow secured England’s highest successful run-chase in Test cricket.
