The India cricket team now has another new captain in the form of Dinesh Karthik for the two warm-up games scheduled to be played against Derbyshire and Northamptonshire ahead of the limited-overs leg starting from Thursday, July 7 2022.

The second-string team, similar to the one that took on Ireland, a couple of days back will play Derbyshire on July 1 and Northamptonshire on July 3 with Hardik Pandya to be the lone player not available for selection. Pandya has been reportedly rested for both the warm-up games. The match is set to begin at 11:30pm IST.
