Vice-captain KL Rahul too was not seen in the pictures. According to reports, Rahul won’t be able to recover in time from a groin injury suffered earlier this month and will miss out on the match.
Both Rohit and Rahul had been in imperious form during the first four matches of the series last year.

India were leading the series 2-1 when the fifth and final Test was called off at the time due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the visitors’ camp and the match rescheduled to July this year.
The match between England and India will be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
