The tour is set to start later this month with the opening test taking place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on January 25.

Reacting to the announcement by talkSPORT, Lloyd posted: “Chuffed is an understatement! So pleased.”

The news of Lloyd’s return to commentary has pleased fans as they flocked to social media.

One posted: “Good to have you back… and made for radio.”

A second commented: “Geet in Bumble! Best pundit going.”

A third wrote: “Brilliant news Bumble. Your dulcet tones have been greatly missed. I’ll definitely be tuning in!”

A fourth said: “Fantastic news to have Bumble back on commentary.

A fifth declared: “Best way to start the cricketing year.”
