Sports this weekend: India vs England 3rd Test continues, women's hockey team in FIH Pro League and more

Yet another weekend of exhilarating sporting action awaits fans. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is back in action with the third Test against England having got underway in Rajkot on Thursday. It’s all to play for in the third Test with the five-match series currently level at 1-1. Then there’s the Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan T20I series as both teams resume preparations ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA this June. Apart from cricket, business continues as usual in European domestic football. Some of the big stars will be in action across European leagues following the conclusion of the AFC Asian Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations last week, although the likes of Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-Min are set to miss action this weekend. In hockey, the India women’s team led by Savita Punia will be in action against Australia and United States on Saturday and Sunday respectively. India will be looking to bounce back after consecutive losses to China and Netherlands.
