IND vs ENG 5th Test: Rain & Sleet set to spoil practice of India & England in Dharamsala

India and England may be forced to conduct indoor practice sessions due to rainy conditions from March 3 to 7 in Dharamsala.

The images coming out of Dharamsala are grim. The preparation for the IND vs ENG 5th Test is expected to begin on Monday (March 4). However, today (March 3), we saw a non-stop downpour from morning to evening in Dharamsala. The more concerning thing for both teams is that the weather will continue to hinder their practice for the last Test of the 5-match series.

Hosts and visitors are expected to encounter cold, cloudy, and rainy weather in the next four days in Dharamsala. This means that the chances for outdoor practice are slim. Instead of watching batters and bowlers toil in the nets at the picturesque HPCA Stadium, both sides may instead conduct indoor practice sessions for the final Test.

Rain is expected for the next four days, but the skies seem clear for the rest of the Test. While the temperatures will range from 6 to 18 throughout this week, clouds and rain will not cause any trouble in the Dharamsala Test.
