Indian men's cricket team will play the fifth and last Test at Edgbaston on July 1. The last Test of the five-match series was postponed last year after a series of positive tests in Indian camp. India lead the series 2-1 and will be looking to win or draw the last Test in order to clinch the series for the first time since 2007. Team India members Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja have already reached London and have started training. Other members of the Test team including Rishabh Pant and coach Rahul Dravid will arrive a few days later as they were engaged in India vs South Africa T20s, the series finished only on Sunday (June 19).
Team India will be training at the home ground of Leicestershire Foxes in England for a week at least before they shift their base to Edgbaston for the fifth Test that starts on July 1.
BCCI shared the news on their Twitter account on Sunday:

All eyes will be on Team India batting star Virat Kohli. He has been struggling for runs for some time now in international cricket. His last international century came way back in 2019. He has had scores of 70s, 80s and 90s but that big knock has still eluded him. His last ton was vs Bangladesh in a home Test. Not to forget, Virat is coming after a horrific season in IPL 2022. Many believed, after watching Virat bat, that the former Indian captain must take a break. However, Virat chose to get his named selected for the tour of England, which also involves 3 ODIs and T20Is each.
