Some youngsters will get chance and Hardik Pandya or Shikhar Dhawan will lead this team. While, senior members of Team India will be busy for England tour. Cheteshwar Pujara has huge chance to enter the team for the remaining test against England as he has performed brilliantly in county championship. But Ajinkya Rahane has already been ruled out from IPL due to his injury and most probably he will not fly to UK.
