The selectors on Friday stuck to the tried and tested names while announcing the India team for the first two Tests against England with wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel being the lone new face.
Rohit Sharma will lead the 16-man side while Jasprit Bumrah will be his deputy.
Senior pacer Mohammed Shami was not named in the squad as he is continuing his recovery process from an injury that he suffered during the ODI World Cup last year. Shami was also not a part of the India squad that toured South Africa recently.
