Brian Bennett
Nick Welch
Sean Williams
Craig Ervine (c)
Sikandar Raza
Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk)
Wellington Masakadza
Richard Ngarava
Blessing Muzarabani
Victor Nyauchi

This is my guess, the selectors normally throw in some surprises in the eleven though! Raza and Masakadza might need to bowl a lot of overs.

Is Blessing staying for the test? I do hope so, but I'd read he was going to the IPL

He is a replacement for Ngidi (who will stay for the group stage) and Qualifier 1 is scheduled on 29 May.

Leaving after the test I believe.

Crawley and Pope locked in for the next 10 Tests at least

I hope we smash England, but hopefully Pope smashes India before that!

Trust me, we are.

5-0 to England. Don't think there's any other result possible, unless the Rain Gods want to spare India the blushes.

There's no chance that England side beats anyone half decent 5-0. Especially India. You can't be a serious force in test cricket with Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley in your top 3.

With a leadership vacuum, a team in transition and an on/off bowling attack, I dont see India challenging England and Australia in their backyards for the next 2 years. India will undergo serious re-building and could be a Test team to reckon with, during the next WTC. ODI and T20 is different, Tests require a different level of commitment and dedication.
