The attention has now turned to red-ball cricket as Team India are all set to take on England for a five-match Test series starting on June 20. Ahead of the crucial tour, the Shubman Gill-led side arrived in London on June 7, where they will participate in a 10-day camp. 

Team India's arrival at Heathrow Airport also hogged the internet, as there were reports that no fans turned up to welcome the new-looking team. Notably, the current squad does not feature Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as the veterans have bid adieu to Test cricket.

The fans assumed that the lack of a grand welcome at the airport was due to the absence of star power within the team. Virat and Rohit fans. However, in the latest events, a report from Revsportz highlighted the real reason behind the lack of crowd.

The report from Rohit Juglan mentioned that the Indian team decided to walk out of Heathrow Airport from a private terminal, which is why no fans were there at the spot to welcome them. The reason behind not opting to exit through the public terminal is unknown, but it could possibly be to avoid the English media present there. 

Fans Looking Forward To India-England Series Without Rohit, Virat

The fans were upset with the move and passed a judgement that Test cricket would no longer attract the same viewership or fans to the stadium because of a lack of star power within the Indian team.

The latest report from Revsportz mentioned that the fans are unfazed by the absence of Virat and Rohit in England and are buying tickets in big numbers. Further, the tickets for all five Test matches are nearly sold out, just a few tickets are available for day 4 at Headingley, Edgbaston.
