Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has termed the ongoing series between India and England as a “trailer” for other teams, saying the five-match T20 rubber will help them to improve their skills and strategy ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year.
“I think it is a trailer for other teams on how to improve their skills, strategies for this format before the World Cup,” he said in an interview on the Cricket Baaz YouTube channel.
“We have two of the best teams playing and I think England is the team to beat in the World Cup.”
Ramiz heaped praise on the England team for their metoric rise in white-ball cricket.
“Their rise in white ball cricket has been massively impressive given the fact that until some years back they didn’t even give priority to ODIs or leave alone T20 cricket,” he said. “England are fearless now and playing attacking cricket in white ball format.”
