# Ollie Pope recalls jeers from England fans during India Test 2026-08-15T03:42:07+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet England batter Ollie Pope has recalled being jeered by his own supporters during the first Test against India at Headingley in 2025. He said fans shouted, “enjoy your last Test mate”, while he was struggling for form. Pope told The Telegraph that the criticism left him feeling unpopular and did not help his batting. Pope, 28, was dropped after England’s 4-1 Ashes defeat and lost his No. 3 spot to Jacob Bethell. Bethell’s injury has earned Pope a return to England’s squad for the upcoming three-Test series against Pakistan. Pope has scored 3,732 runs in 64 Tests at an average of 34.55, including nine centuries. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com - sports.ndtv.com Tags: England, India, Ollie Pope Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ollie-pope-says-england-fans-jeered-him-during-india-test-series/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
