Swann Sparks Outrage: Calls India Series 'Warm-Up' for Ashes | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

In the lead-up to the much-anticipated India vs England Test series, former England spinner and now commentator Graeme Swann has stirred the pot. Swann has called the blockbuster bilateral clash a "perfect warm-up for the Ashes." The statement has triggered a major backlash from Indian fans and cricket experts alike. The spinner's comment has been called dismissive and arrogant. Rupha Ramani breaks down why Swann’s comments have hit a nerve, how they compare to Ben Duckett’s infamous remarks, and what the ECB itself has said about the commercial and cricketing weight of this series. With India finishing higher than England in the last WTC cycle and the ECB CEO himself admitting the India series is on par with the Ashes, is it time for England to stop underestimating their biggest modern-day rivalry?
