Ex-England Pacer Steve Harmison issues an ominous warning to Ben Stokes and company

Former fast bowler of England cricket team Steve Harmison has lambasted the preparation strategy of England for the upcoming challenging Test tour of India.

Former fast bowler of England cricket team Steve Harmison has lambasted the preparation strategy of England for the upcoming challenging Test tour of India. The series is scheduled to begin on January 25 in Hyderabad, and England have planned to land in India only three days before, reportedly after finishing their preparation in the United Arab Emirates.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has already named a spin-heavy side for the tour, with the likes of Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir earning their maiden call-ups.
Steve Harmison, who has toured India in the past to play three Tests, is far from pleased with England’s devised plan for the series and believes an impending whitewash will be thoroughly deserved.
In an interaction, Steve Harmison said, “If England go in 3 days, they deserve to get beat 5-0. They really do. I’m an old man; that is what they are going to say. The times have changed, the game has changed, but I tell you, preparation has not changed. You can’t go into India unprepared. In fact, you cannot go to India overprepared; you can be in India for six weeks before and still not be prepared for that first test.”
He also added, “I would love to know what Pietersen, Strauss, and Cook, in that great side, the only side that has won there in 2012, would think when they hear that England will go to India like three days before the series. I think they would laugh at you.”
