Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana might be added to the senior Test squad for the upcoming series against England. He has been asked to stay back in the UK instead of returning home. The five-match Test series will begin on June 20.
Before the series, India played a practice game against India A. This match helped players like captain Shubman Gill and others who arrived after the IPL to get some valuable game time. The match ended on Sunday and lasted for about two and a half days.
As per RevSportz, Team India will leave Beckenham on June 17. They will first go to London and then travel to Leeds for the first Test.
At the same time, several India A players are likely to return to India on the same day.
