India: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj.

“Played on a similar pitch [against Bangladesh], do understand what to expect. Got to use your experience,” he says. India has picked four seamers, including Hardik, and two spin bowling allrounders, Axar and Jadeja. Sanju, Jaiswal, Kuldeep and Chahal miss out.

“Got plenty of match winners; today’s a perfect occasion for them to show up,” says Paul Stirling. We’ve got three seamers and two spinners, a couple of allrounders in there.”

Different from the pitches in India used for the recently concluded IPL, the pitches in the US have a lot of grass and are unpredictable, as no matches have been played on them so far.
