In recent months, they have also managed to produce a new style of playing Test cricket. Now, India are busy hosting Australia in a four-match Test series at home. While England are preparing for the two-match Test series in New Zealand. However, England’s Barmy Army will be in action again during the upcoming series against the Kiwis. 

Both the Barmy army and the Bharat army have been a great support for England and India respectively 

Barmy Army is a company that helps in providing tickets and arranging touring parties for some of its members to follow the English cricket team in the UK and overseas. However, they are also famous for doing banters and coming up with cheeky comments for their opponent sides. On the other hand, India’s Barmy Army is another group of people that support the Men in Blue in overseas series and major tournaments. So, the banter between these two groups is common thing. On 9 February 2023, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy kicked off in India. On the same day, Barmy Army tweeted: “NZ vs England > BGT”.

Then, England’s Barmy army trolled the former India skipper on social media platforms.
