Sports Desk: Every time you come to play in the subcontinent, cricketers from England, Australia or New Zealand have to face various problems due to the weather. This time was no exception. England cricketers have been humiliated by the extra heat of India.

England played the last Test of the series against India at the world's largest cricket stadium in Motara, Ahmedabad earlier this month. The English lost the innings and 25 runs and lost the title of the series. In addition to losing the series, Ben Stokes and Jack Leachra have also become physically weak.

The temperature during the last match in Ahmedabad was 41 degrees Celsius. English cricketers do not have the habit of adapting to such heat. As a result, Stokes lost about 5 kg in three days of the match and one week before and after.

The same situation with Dom Sibley, Jimmy Anderson. Left-arm spinner Jack Leach has repeatedly had to leave the field due to unbearable heat. "The players are always committed to the England team," Stokes told the Mirror Sport.

I can say that because some of us fell ill last week, playing at 41 degrees. ' He added, ‘I have lost 5 kg in a week. Among others, Dom Sibley lost 4 kg and Jimmy Anderson lost 3 kg. Jack Leach was walking off the field with his bowling spell and had to spend more time in the toilet than usual.

' However, Stokes did not agree to use it as an excuse for the series loss, saying, "I am not saying this as an excuse. Because everyone was ready to play in India. Rishav Pant has done a great job. The England players have also tried their best to win the team.
