England have a 15-man squad to choose from in Dubai, but if they keep faith with the XI which faced the Lions, uncapped duo Ajmal Shahzad and James Tredwell are likely to be left out, along with stand-in Test skipper Alastair Cook and seamer Liam Plunkett.
Each franchise was allowed to sign up to eight non-Indian players for their 16-man roster, but only four foreign players can feature in the starting line-up and each XI must also contain four Indian players under the age of 22.
