It will be a rare occasion that two India squads will be playing in different countries at the same time. The Virat Kohli-led squad will be preparing for the five Tests against England at the same time. The Test squad is already in the UK for the World Test Championships final against New Zealand from June 18 while the England series begins on August 4.
