England series is going to be a competitive one, says Virat Kohli

Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli has said that the upcoming series against England will be a competitive one.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday (July 15) announced the dates and venues for the  series that consists of five Tests, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The first Test of the series will be played in Rajkot on November 9, 2016.

In a video message posted by the BCCI on its Twitter page, Indian captain Virat Kohli and head coach Anil Kumble, who are in West Indies with the team for the four-Test series, announced the schedule.

Virat Kohli  said that the series will produce high-quality cricket.

“This is going to be a competitive series. Both sides like to play hard-fought cricket. England is one of the better sides in the world. So we can expect some high-quality cricket even though we are playing at home. I urge fans from both the countries to come and support Test cricket,” Kohli said

Anil Kumble, also welcomed the development.

“I am happy to announce the schedule of India-England series. I have been involved in many Tests against England as a player but this is the first time that I will be involved in a 5-Test series as a coach. I am really looking forward to this contest,” Kumble said.
