India Vs England Final Test Match
The final match in the five-match Test series between England and India, which will began on July 1, has a 15-member squad, according to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). In the last Test matchup with India, Rohit Sharma, who has not yet tested Covid negative, will serve as the Indian team’s captain against Ben Stokes. Both teams just had new head coaches and captains. This game promises to be quite fascinating. The hosts will want to even the Test series at 2-2 while team India will try to win the game to complete a 3-1 series victory.
For the fifth test against India, the same players that had a chance to play for England in the three-match Test series against New Zealand were chosen. The only new player on this 15-man team is Sam Billings. Notably, it is still unclear if James Anderson is healthy enough to play in this Test because his replacement, Jamie Overton, is also on the list.
Team England for 5th Test vs India
Ben Stokes (captain), Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Stuart Broad, Harry Brooke, Jack Crowley, Ben Fox, Jack Leach, Alex Lees, James Anderson, Craig Overton, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts.
