After a nine-day break, the Indian cricketers will return to the field on Tuesday (March 5) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The optional practice session will also mark the beginning of India's official preparation for the fifth and final Test against England slated to begin on Thursday.

India have got the second slot to train on Tuesday. After the England team completes their training in the morning session, India's practice will begin roughly around 12:30 pm.

"England will train at the HPCA stadium from 9:30 AM onwards. India will train at the HPCA stadium from 12:30 PM onwards," BCCI said in an official statement.

India have already won the five-match series 3-1. The hosts staged a great comeback after losing the first Test in Hyderabad. Victories in Vizag, Rajkot and Ranchi strengthened the belief of India being near-invincible in their own backyard. Despite missing some big names like Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul, India managed to thwart the Bazballers with sheer quality.

Youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal, who many believe has already put in a Player of The Series performance by scoring 655 runs in 4 Tests and Dhruv Jurel took the centrestage while seniors Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja put their hand up with notable performances.
