England captain Alastair Cook hinted at a possible change for the second Test in Visakhapatnam, opening the door for the inclusion of Jake Ball, as the side look to back up the impressive performances in the first match against India.
Chris Woakes, who has been ever present throughout England’s three formats in 2016, could be rested with Ball, Steven Finn and the fit-again James Anderson, who is available for selection after a shoulder injury, all in contention.
Lack of game time could count against Anderson as Cook hopes for England to put in a complete performance, much like in Rajkot.
"It's a real tough one," Cook admitted. "We know what we've got coming up but the way the 11 guys played in the last game was outstanding. So it's either the rotation policy or do you stick with what we've got. That's the decision we've got to make.
"Woakes is the one we're looking at because of the amount of overs he has bowled over the last six or seven weeks. He was outstanding in Rajkot, so we will have to make a decision. He has just got a bowling niggle really. Just the normal wear and tear of bowling, so he's fine to play.
"Jimmy has come over and done really well in the nets. He's confident as he can be in terms of his skills and where he's at, but he hasn't got miles in his legs.
"The last time he played in a game was in August. So you're weighing up that against guys who have been out here for seven weeks and also against Chris Woakes. It's going through our heads what we are going to do.
"The way we played was particularly pleasing over the five days.
“We were relentless in all aspects of the game. There were a couple of dropped catches here and there, that does happen in the game, but apart from that we were excellent with the ball and in the field.
"There were three first-innings hundreds to get more than 500 and, when the pressure was on in the second innings and it looked like we were the only side who could lose the game, Haseeb Hameed played really well. A lot of things went well for us and that can only give us confidence that we can compete with India and put them under pressure."
England’s batting in particular helped answer questions on their ability to play spin, but Cook is under no illusions over the task ahead.
"They were incredibly tough wickets to bat on," Cook said of the conditions in which his side faltered in Bangladesh.
"It doesn't matter whether you'd played 130 Tests in Asia with a good record or your first game. It was incredibly tough for the top order with the same balls skidding and spinning.
“If you look at mine and Gary Ballance's [first-innings] dismissals we both received exactly the same deliveries with exactly the seam release out of the hand. One hit leg stump and the other got caught [by the keeper]. That was the challenge facing us.
"It didn't make us bad players of spin. But what it did do was focus a real intensity in our training after those ten wickets fell in a session. It makes people not re-evaluate their game but really concentrate, particularly in those first 30 balls of your innings.
"We had a really good couple of days in Mumbai, when conditions were slightly more favourable for batting and the hard work we'd put in paid off. Now we have to do it again. Everyone starts on nought now."
“The toss is important but in Mumbai the last time we played here we lost the toss on a turning wicket and we outplayed India. So it is important but it doesn't mean you can't win the game if you lose it.
"Everyone here says the toss is important but if we lose it, it will just be another challenge we will have to overcome.
“If you go back to our last game in Rajkot, our worst bit of the game was that first 25 minutes when we showed a bit of nerves."
