MUMBAI, May 24: The Indian One-day squad for the four limited over off-shore matches in Ireland and Scotland will be selected in Bangalore on June 12.
"The squad for the three matches against South Africa (in Ireland on June 26, 29 and July 1) and the one-off match against Pakistan for Prince Charles Charity Trust (in Glasgow on July 3) will be selected at Bangalore on June 12," Cricket Board secretary Niranjan Shah said on Thursday.
"We will choose the team for the Test series to follow in England later. The team would have a short conditioning camp in Bangalore before departing from Mumbai on June 19 or 20," Shah added.
India will play a three-Test series against England with the matches scheduled at Lord's (July 19-23), Trent Bridge (July 27-31) and The Oval (August 9-13).
This will be followed by a seven-match ODI series against the hosts from August 21 to September 8.
Shah said that because of the spate of injuries to Indian bowlers, the Board had decided to conduct a fitness cum conditioning camp for 10 to 12 bowlers at Bangalore from June 8-12.
"We have seen a few bowlers breaking down due to injuries and want to test the bowlers' fitness through a special camp which will end on June 12 after commencing on the 8th. The players chosen for the matches in Ireland and Scotland would join them for the five-day preparatory camp," he said.
"The players would be given a break of two or three days before they assemble in Mumbai to leave for Ireland," he added.
