India will rely on their experienced players like Harmanpreet, Smriti, Shafali and Deepti to score big runs and their spinners like Renuka Singh Thakur, Titas Sadhu and Pooja Vastrakar to take wickets.
England, meanwhile, will be looking to register their first Test win over India since 2005. They have played seven Tests against India since then, losing one and drawing six. England will have a different squad for the Test match, with the inclusion of Lauren Winfield-Hill, Sophia Dunkley, Georgia Elwiss, Freya Davies, Kirstie Gordon and Sarah Glenn.
