India National Cricket Team all-format captain Rohit Sharma joined India’s first training session in Leicestershire ahead of the high-profile one-off Test against England National Cricket Team.

The majority of the Indian Test squad members, including the likes of Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur arrived in the United Kingdom on June 16.
