England to name Test squad on Saturday
England will name their squad for next week's first Test against India on Saturday, the England and Wales Cricket Board said.
The Test party was due to be announced at 1000 GMT on Thursday but the selectors wanted more time following injuries to opener Marcus Trescothick and paceman Andrew Caddick.
Chairman of selectors David Graveney will now reveal the 13-man squad at 0920 GMT on Saturday.
Trescothick fractured his thumb playing for his county Somerset in a limited overs match on Wednesday, while county team mate Caddick is still troubled by a side strain.
Alex Tudor is struggling with shin splints and fellow paceman Darren Gough has only just returned to action after knee surgery.
The first Test begins at Lord's on July 25.
