Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has joined the Test squad in Leicester, where they will take on Leicestershire in a four-day warm-up game match ahead of their fifth and final Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham which will start from July 1. "Look who's here! Head Coach Rahul Dravid has joined the Test squad in Leicester. #TeamIndia," tweeted BCCI.
Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid doesn't want to put a timeline but by the end of the England T20Is, he wants to have a fair idea about the 18 to 20-odd players he would be looking at for the T20 World Cup in Australia. India and England will clash in six white-ball games (July 7-17) after the one-off Test. "As you come closer and closer to the event, you want to firm up your final squad or if not, obviously you want to have some contingencies in the kind of world we live in today. Obviously you want to take only 15 to the WC but (need to identify) top 18 to 20 players," he replied to a query on where he stands on his core team.
Members of the Indian Test squad that reached England had their first training session in London on Friday as they began preparations for the rescheduled fifth Test in Birmingham beginning on July 1. Taking to social media, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared pictures from the training session. "Out and about in London," the BCCI captioned the post. The players were seen having a run around a ground. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja and Shubman Gill were among the players spotted in the pictures.
