Tuesday, September 18th 2012 01:00

Sheffield and Yorkshire batsman Joe Root's been called up to the England test match squad for their upcoming tour of India.

It looks to be a straight battle between Root and Somerset's Nick Compton to fill the opening slot left by Andrew Strauss' retirement.

Root is yet to be capped and says he is 'delighted' to be part of the squad for England's Test tour in India.
