The pair has been given a chance to push for England Test selection
Hameed, meanwhile, has not played Test cricket since his maiden series against India in 2016-17, when he made 219 runs in six innings as a 19-year-old opener. His form nosedived over the next three seasons playing for Lancashire, but he has been much more successful since joining Nottinghamshire ahead of the 2020 season, where he has averaged 42.43 in first-class cricket. He was an unused squad member for the New Zealand series.
The County Select XI will be coached by Richard Dawson, England’s elite performance pathway coach, and will be staged behind closed doors from July 20-22. The fixture was confirmed on Wednesday night following India’s request for a warm-up match ahead of the Test series, which starts on August 4 at Trent Bridge.
