Batsman Vikram Solanki will lead England in a warm-up game on Saturday ahead of the seven-match one-day series against India starting next week.
He will deputise for captain Andrew Flintoff, who went home after the Test series to see his newborn son. Flintoff will return before the first one-dayer in New Delhi on Tuesday.
England have rested four players from the Test side, opener Andrew Strauss, all rounder Paul Collingwood, batsman Geraint Jones and seamer Matthew Hoggard, for the match against a Rajasthan Cricket Board President's XI.
It will provide an opportunity for Solanki, seamers Kabir Ali and Sajid Mahmood, and off-spinner Gareth Batty who joined the squad for the one-dayers.
Mahmood, who toured India with the A side in 2003-4, expected the heat to pose a challenge for the new players.
"When I was here last time the series was tough and difficult," he said on Friday. "The heat and humidity made things tough."
Injury-depleted England crushed India by 212 runs in the third and final Test in Mumbai on Wednesday to square the three-match series.
