TEST TEAM AGAINST ENGLAND ANNOUNCED

Indian Selectors headed by K. Sreekanth thursdday announced Test Team for the forthcoming two test matches against England.The only two changes, largely expected, were the inclusion of Yuvraj Singh for the retired Sourav Ganguly and of left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha who replaced left-arm seamer Rudra Pratap Singh. The first test will begin on December-11 in Chennai. Second Test will begin on December 19 in Mohali.


The surprising fact is that Yuvraj makes his way into the Test squad after seven months. This test will be a crucial test for Rahul Dravid as the batsman is struggling with out of form in the recent test series.

TEAM :


Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain),
Virender Sehwag (vice-captain),
Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Amit Mishra, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Munaf Patel, Pragyan Ojha, Murali Vijay and Subramaniam Badrinath.
