A veteran of 26 Test matches and 154 limited overs internationals, former wicketkeeper-batsman Karthik spent the summer covering the exhilarating series between England and India for Sky Sports.

He has joined 38-year-old spinning great Ravichandran Ashwin in the Indian side for the three-day tournament at Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground from November 7.
