NEW DELHI: Ticket prices for next summer's Test match at Lord's between India and England have been increased again, despite the lukewarm response from fans for the recent game against Sri Lanka.
Lord's owner, Marylebone Cricket Club, faced criticism for the ticket prices for this summer's Test against Sri Lanka.
The five-match Test series between India and England kicks off on June 20, with the third game scheduled at Lord's from July 10.
For the Lord's Test against India, the cheapest tickets are priced at 90 pounds, but these come with restricted views.
Fans looking for unrestricted views will need to pay between 120-175 pounds, according to ESPNcricinfo.
Last month, tickets with restricted views for the Sri Lanka Test ranged from £115 to £140. The match, which concluded on day four, drew only 9,000 spectators, filling just one-third of the stadium's capacity.
The series against India is the second biggest attraction after the Ashes involving Australia.
After the Sri Lanka Test, England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope expressed surprise at the low attendance.
"It was just like 'jeez, it seems quiet today'," Pope had said.
"I'm not sure if people expected the game to be done by day four or not. It's a shame it wasn't a full house because it was obviously a good day's play."
