England Squad for India Tour : November-December 2008

Filed under Eng in Ind 2009

This will be the first time when Stuart Broad will bowl to Yuvraj Singh since the lefthander hit him for six sixes in an over at the Twenty20 world cup some 12 months ago..

This will be the second time when Owais Shah and Alaister Cook will tour India.. and going by their performance on first trip - England cricket supporters must have high expectations.

This will be the third time when Andrew Flintoff will play in India.. this mighty all rounder first discovered himself in an ODI series in India (and danced shirtless after winning final one day international to draw that series).. and although he was captain but failed to impress in his second trip to India - he's back to fitness and form to win cricket matches all on his own!

Having said all this - this England's tour of India will be first overseas tour for Kevin Pietersen as captain.. someone who has, so far, won all matches leading his country!

Who are the other players in England squad to India.. following is your answer.
