MS Dhoni to lead one last time, focus on Yuvraj and Nehra too.

The focus on the first game will be not only on Dhoni but also on recalled limited over specialists -- Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra -- who were both members of the triumphant squad led by the Ranchi superstar that regained the 50-over World Cup in 2011.(Source: AP)

The injury-prone 37-year-old Nehra has not played during the entire domestic season so far for Delhi, and thus will be keen to get quickly into the groove and also assess his match fitness. (Source: AFP)

Also coming back after an injury-forced lay-off is attacking opener Shikhar Dhawan, expected to launch the India A innings alongside Mandeep Singh, who too would be keen to show his worth against the quality opposition that England will provide.(Source: AFP)

His stellar reign as India's national skipper is over but Mahendra Singh Dhoni will have captain written against his name one last time when the talismanic wicketkeeper-batsman leads out India 'A' against England in the first practice match on Tuesday. (Source : AFP)

The 35-year-old Yuvraj last played for India in the World T20 in March 2016 and has not played ODIs since December 2013, losing his place in the 50-over game after averaging just 18.53 in his last 19 matches.(Source: AFP)

England too will be keen to hit their stride after landing here a few days ago. They had a serious net session on Sunday and are set to have another one on Monday under lights before plunging into the competitive part of the tour.(AP)

All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who also got injured during the preceding Test series against England and has been declared fit, will be another player to get into match fitness after being chosen for the ODI and T20 series. (Source: AFP)
