Rohit Sharma will captain the side which sees Cheteshwar Pujara return to the squad after missing the home Test series against Sri Lanka while Ravindra Jadeja, whose IPL season ended abruptly with a rib injury, is also part of the touring party.

Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, who were both rested for the home IT20 series against South Africa next month, will be in Test action in Birmingham.

However, Ajinkya Rahane will be out of action after sustaining a hamstring injury during his spell with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. From the squad that took on Sri Lanka in the Test series, openers Mayank Agarwal and Priyank Panchal were left out.

Day One, Two and Three are all sold out and only limited tickets are now left for Day Four, with adult prices starting from £26 and under 16s only £6. Tickets for Day Five are also on sale now.

Tickets can be purchased online at tickets.edgbaston.com or over the phone by calling 0330 551 1994 (9am-5pm, Mon-Fri).
