England have announced a 16-member unchanged squad for the five-Test series against India with fast bowler James Anderson set to miss the start of the tour after failing to recover from a shoulder injury. The squad is the same as the one currently touring Bangladesh. Anderson, who was forced to miss England’s ongoing series in Bangladesh, has already been ruled out of next month’s opening Test in Rajkot, starting on November 9. But the 34-year-old pacer, who has taken a record 473 Test wickets for England, could join the squad for the remaining four Test matches. The first Test at Rajkot will be followed by matches at Visakhapatnam, Mohali, Mumbai and Chennai. Squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Moeen Ali, Zafar Ansari, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Gary Ballance, Gareth Batty, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Ben Duckett, Steven Finn, Haseeb Hameed, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes.
