Club announces squads for India v ROW

The club have today announced the captains and squads for Edgware CC's inter-club fixture between India and the Rest of the World.

As anticipated, Sajith Sriwickramasekaran will captain the Rest of the World XI and former captain Ciaran Hosty will act as his vice. Similarly, Nakul Jilka will lead the Indian XI into almost certain defeat and Shuraj Vekaria will follow closely behind as his vice.

The venue for this year's fixture is still to be determined although Canons High School, Watford Town and Mill Hill School all appear to be likely candidates. It will be the first time the two sides have played each other following the cancellation of 2020's fixture due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

The squads in full (caps in brackets) are detailed below:
