India will kick off their tour with a two-day warm-up match at Loughborough on August 7-8 before playing the Test match at Wormsley from August 13-16.
This will be India’s first Test since 2006, when they played against England on their last tour to the country. On that occasion, India triumphed by five wickets, and took the two-match series 1-0 as a result.
Only three members of the 15-strong squad have played Test cricket before, including Raj. Karuna Jain, the wicketkeeper and Jhulan Goswami, the veteran right-arm pacer, are the other two.
The squad was picked after selection matches held at Alur in Bangalore from July 4 to 13.
