India warm up match today timings: IND vs ENG T20 practice match squads

India warm up match today timings: Team India will play a couple of T20 practice matches ahead of the limited Overs series versus England.

After registering a 2-0 T20I series victory against Ireland a few days ago, a second-string team India have arrived in Derby to play the first T20 warm-up match today against the English County team Derbyshire, at the County Ground in Derby.

With the Test team currently playing the rescheduled ‘fifth’ Test match against England at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, the ‘Indians’ T20 squad would be led by the experienced wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik, in place of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was the captain during the tour of Ireland.

Pandya, in fact is the only player from the squad who has opted to rest during the two warm-up matches, with the second one to be played against Northamptonshire on July 3 (Sunday).

For those unaware, the BCCI had announced two separate squads for the upcoming three-match T20I series against England on Thursday, with the first T20I to take place at The Rose Bowl, in Southampton.
