The England team is currently at the Ageas Bowl, where they are preparing for the first Test in a bio-secure environment. The first match of the series is scheduled to begin on July 8 in Southampton.
This series will mark the resumption of international cricket which stopped three months ago. The rubber will also be the first in which the new cricket rules will be seen, which includes the ban of saliva to keep the ball shining among other rules.
