&ldquo;I think the IPL superstardom of some of the players will count to England&rsquo;s benefit,&rdquo; Finn told ESPNCricinfo.
&ldquo;Kevin Pietersen aside, that 2012 team, people weren&rsquo;t really superstars in India, whereas you have quite a few guys this time going over who have played in the IPL and are superstars in that. I think that will count.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The three most memorable tours I went on, India 2012, Australia 2010-11 and South Africa 2016, all three of them, one of the motivations for us was to try and get the opposition public on side and turn them against their own team.&rdquo;
