The senior selector committee headed by Ajit Agarkar announced the squad for the remaining three matches of India vs England Test series. Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul were also named in the squad, but their participation is subject to fitness clearance from the BCCI medical team.

India squad for England Test series 2024: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul*, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (WK), KS Bharat (WK), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja*, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep 

No Shreyas Iyer

Though, the board has provided no update on the Shreyas Iyer’s omission, the Mumbai batter has been ruled out due to back and groin injury.

Iyer’s reoccurring back problems ensured that both Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar kept their places in the India squad. 

No rest for Bumrah, Siraj returns

Meanwhile, India pace lynchpin Jasprit Bumrah retained his place in the India squad amid reports of being rested due to workload management. While Mohammed Siraj returned after a well deserved break in the Vizag Test.

Left-arm pacer Akash Deep is the only new face in the India squad. 

Kohli is currently abroad for pressing personal family matter.
