(Reuters) -England have named a 14-player squad for the first match of the Rothesay Test Series against India, which is set to begin on June 20 at Headingley in Leeds. Ben Stokes will lead the squad as captain and Surrey bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton returns to the Test line-up for the first time since earning his sole cap against New Zealand at Headingley in June 2022.

Ben Stokes, back from a hamstring injury in the Zimbabwe Test, will captain England in a five-match series against India. This series begins the new ICC World Test Championship cycle for both teams.

India and England face challenges ahead of their Test series, with both teams undergoing transitions and dealing with injury concerns among key players.
