India vs England Test Squad Announcement Live Updates: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to name the squad for the remaining three Tests against England today. Senior player like Virat Kohli missed the first Test while the likes of KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja missed the second Test due to different reasons. While Kohli had to withdraw his participation owing to a personal concern, Jadeja and Rahul missed out due to injuries. Though an official announcement is yet to come from the BCCI, Jadeja is unlikely to be fit before the start of the third Test, there’s a good chance of Rahul and Kohli’s return.
