England are ideally one of the most-exciting Test teams in the world currently, with their exhilarating and unorthodox Bazball aprroach.
The players have reinvented themselves in Test cricket under Head Coach Brandon McCullum and have thrived. They've beaten all the opponents they've faced save Australia, against whom they just recently played out a 2-2 draw.
Even then the series was a moral victory for England after the fourth Test ended up in a draw only due to rain. If not, England were in pole position to win it.

However, many believe that the most challenging examination for Bazball will be to win on raging turners in India.
England are scheduled to visit the Indian subcontinent in early 2024. Opener Zak Crawley spoke at length about his eagerness to play in India.
What did Zak Crawley say about Indian Pitches?
England opener Zak Crawley defended the Bazball system and expressed his will to bat on Indian pitches. He said that batting in India would not be a problem for the England batsmen as they are good players of spin.
"Hopefully, there are a couple of pitches in India that will suit us a bit more. We play spin well, just have to adapt", Crawley told Cricinfo.
Crawley admitted that they were unfamiliar with some of the Test venues for their tour but hoped some of them will suit England.
"They are pretty unknown grounds, I don't know if they're going to be raggers like Ahmedabad and Chennai", Crawley added.

When will India face England in the WTC 2023-25 cycle?
India's first test of the new year (2024) would be their biggest test after the Cricket World Cup in November 2023. India will face England in a five-match Test Series at home.
The five Tests will be hosted at Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamsala.
This series would be significant in terms of rankings on the World Test Championship Table for 2023-25. India has lost two WTC Finals (2021, 2023). Meanwhile, England has failed to qualify for a WTC Final and would aim for the spot in 2025.
