The Indian squad for the four-Test series against England, which is the first part of their forthcoming tour, will be picked on July 2, Cricket Board sources said today.
“The squad would be picked in Chennai on July 2,” BCCI sources told PTI.
Incidentally, July 2 is the last day of the scheduled second India-West Indies Test in the current series and would be played at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Two members—Surendra Bhave and Narendra Hirwani—of the five-man selection committee, headed by Krish Srikkanth, are currently in the West Indies watching the Test series and are expected to join the discussions via tele-conference along with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Duncan Fletcher.
The Indians conclude their visit to the Caribbean with the third and final Test scheduled at Roseau from July 6-10.
Quite a few key members of the Indian team that won the World Cup on April 2 are missing from the touring party in the West Indies.
