India vs England Test Team Announcement Live Updates: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to name the team for the remaining three Tests against England today. Veteran players like Virat Kohli missed the first Test, while players like KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja missed the second Test for different reasons. While Kohli had to withdraw his participation due to personal concern, Jadeja and Rahul missed out due to injuries. Although an official announcement is yet to be made by the BCCI, Jadeja is unlikely to be fit before the start of the third Test, there is a good chance that Rahul and Kohli will return.
Here are the live updates of Team India’s announcement for the last three Tests against England:

India squad for 3 Tests vs England live: Will Sarfaraz retain his place?
The absence of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja turned out to be a blessing for uncapped batsman Sarfaraz Khan as he earned his first Test call-up for the second match. Known for his batting exploits in domestic cricket, Sarfaraz is yet to take up the role for the Indian team. He took the field as a substitute outfielder for Shubman Gill in the game. It will be really interesting to see if he gets his team name changed for the remaining tests.
