The England national cricket team are scheduled to leave for Delhi today afternoon. Their departure will officially bring an end to their exciting tour of Bangladesh which saw them win the ODI series 2-1 and draw the Test series 1-1.

There was talk about an early departure after the second and final Test ended on Day Three. However, it was later confirmed that England would leave as per the original schedule. 

England will now get set to tour India, which is expected to begin from November 9. From England's perspective, their tour of Bangladesh was important since they wanted to get ready for India. Judging by the exposure that they received on the turning tracks of Chittagong and Dhaka, it will not be a surprise if they manage to resist India's spinners in the heat.
