After their emphatic win against Scotland, Team India reached here late this evening for their one-way warm-up game against England Lions. Although the final XI is yet to be decided, newcomers like Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma would be hoping to get a chance to prove their mettle with the one-day series against England starting on Tuesday. Indications are that Rahul Dravid may sit out of the practice match, giving Twenty20 captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni a feel of leading the side.England, meanwhile, will give their new one-day stars, including the hard-hitting Ravi Bopara and wicket-keeper Paul Nixon, an opportunity to strike form before the seven-match series.
