India have a lot of selection headaches going into the clash, with Rohit Sharma’s availability being a huge question mark. Jasprit Bumrah has been named standby. The Hit-Man has to return 2 negative RT-PCR reports before travelling to Birmingham.
Dravid meanwhile, sought out Kohli, who was the captain when India took a 2-1 lead last year. India had performed admirably and the duo were discussing plans to counter a rejuvenated England team and India’s potential playing XI.
England are fresh from a 3-0 win over New Zealand. Ben Stokes and Co. chased down in excess of 250 in each of their wins. Furthermore, James Anderson will return after some much-deserved rest, adding to India’s concerns before the Edgbaston showdown.
India’s Test squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant (wk), KS Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mohd Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Mayank Agarwal
