Mumbai: India A captain Suresh Raina won the toss and elected to bat against the touring England cricketers in the first three-day warm-up match on Tuesday.
India A left out Robin Bist, Ambati Rayudu and Ashok Menaria from their playing eleven.
England, who arrived on Monday, omitted Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Graham Onions, Eoin Morgan and Monty Panesar from their starting line-up.
From the home side's point of view, the match is a very important one to sort out one or two batting slots in the Test team, if not immediately but in the near future.
The match could also be a direct contest for the vacant no. 6 slot between incumbent Raina and comeback man Yuvraj Singh, who is coming into the game on the back of a double hundred for North Zone in the Duleep Trophy.
Teams:
India 'A': Suresh Raina (capt.), Murali Vijay, Abhinav Mukund, Ajinkya Rahane, Yuvraj Singh, Manoj Tiwary, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Irfan Pathan, R Vinay Kumar, Parvinder Awana, Ashok Dinda.
England XI: Alastair Cook (capt.), Nick Compton, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Jonathan Trott, James Anderson, Steven Finn, Matt Prior (wk), Graeme Swann, Samit Patel.
