'August is a great month to score runs in England' - Mohammad Azharuddin ahead of India's England tour

England and India will be battling it out against each other in the first Test match on August 4. This high-octane series is highly awaited by the cricket on-lookers as they cannot wait to watch the action unfold. The contests that this series is set to bring for the fans are further garnering its audacity and rightly so. Cricket experts from all over the world have been expressing their thoughts on this series and the latest to join the bandwagon is the former India cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin.

As India are all geared up to take the challenge against the hosts, the batter has some piece of advice for the players ahead of the series. The English conditions are more often than not expected to assist the seamers. In the final of the WTC, the New Zealand pacers got better of India as the batting line-up seemed to struggle a bit especially in the second innings. However, with the experience of playing in the country, Mohammad Azharuddin has asserted that the month of August would assist the batters as conditions favor the batters in England during this period.

Azharuddin, who is renowned for the elegance and class he brought on the 22 yards, took it to Twitter to express his opinion on the playing conditions of England. He tweeted- “August is a great month to score runs in England. In my experience, the wickets are dry and the batting conditions are conducive this month. Batsmen should capitalise on this. #IndVsEng #readytoconquer”
