Sai Sudharsan
After delivering impressive knocks in white-ball cricket, Sai Sudharsan could turn out to be a dark horse even in red-ball cricket. A strong point for the selectors to pick him for the England tour is his batting style (left-handed). Another factor that could help Sai make it to the Indian team ahead of the tour is the flexibility of him opening the batting and playing in the middle-order as well

Shreyas Iyer
Experience will play a huge part in England's conditions and there is no other player better than Shreyas Iyer among the six. His latest version, where he expresses with a free-flowing approach, can help him seal the spot. After toiling in domestic cricket, Iyer has finally been able to generate the results he's been looking for. But the question remains whether he will get another shot at the red ball?

Karun Nair
Whenever the talks surround Test cricket, the name Karun Nair will always be remembered for his iconic triple-century. The interesting fact about his triple-century is that the veteran registered the score of unbeaten 303 runs against the "Three Lions". Will cricket give him another chance this year?

Devdutt Padikkal
The only competition for Sai in terms of batting style is Devdutt Padikkal. In the previous tour to Australia, the left-handed batsman showed positive signs of his skills with the willow. His inclusion will be a matter of discussion for the think tank

Sarfaraz Khan
After he scored a 150 against New Zealand in Bengaluru in October, Sarfaraz should have sealed his place in the Test squad, but some atrocious shot selection in the following Tests put him down in the pecking order. In Australia, he was more of a tourist and wasn't even discussed for a place in the first XI. However, for the sake of continuity, selectors can still look at him
