Shubman Gill's side reached Sri Lanka earlier this week and will play a three-day warm-up fixture before the opening Test.
2. Who replaces Jasprit Bumrah?

Mohammed Siraj is expected to spearhead the fast-bowling unit, but the identity of his new-ball partner remains uncertain.
Prasidh Krishna appears to be the front-runner owing to his international experience and ability to generate bounce. However, Auqib Nabi has thrown his hat into the ring after an exceptional domestic season that earned him his maiden India Test call-up.
