England have named a strong 12-man line-up for tomorrow's opening one-day warm-up match against the Mumbai Cricket Association.
The tourists have resisted the temptation to experiment in the build up to the start of the seven-match one-day international series, which begins in Rajkot next Friday.
They have agreed to a 12-a-side match and included all their leading players for the first of two matches as part of the preparation in the next three days.
Sussex all-rounder Luke Wright, who has been a key member of the limited overs side over the last few months, has been left out alongside Alastair Cook and reserve wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose,
Left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom also misses out as he is yet to recover from the ankle injury he sustained during the trip to Antigua for the Stanford Super Series.
Team:
KP Pietersen, (Hampshire, captain), IR Bell (Warwickshire), MJ Prior (Sussex, wkt), OA Shah (Middlesex), A Flintoff (Lancashire), PD Collingwood (Durham), RS Bopara (Essex), SR Patel (Nottinghamshire), SC Broad (Nottinghamshire), GP Swann (Nottinghamshire), SJ Harmison (Durham), JM Anderson (Lancashire).
