Virender Sehwag [ Images ] would lead a star-studded Delhi [ Images ] line-up comprising the likes of Gautam Gambhir [ Images ], Virat Kohli [ Images ], Ishant Sharma [ Images ] when they take on Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] in the Ranji Trophy opening round away game at Ghaziabad from November 2-5.

The likes of Sehwag and Gambhir would get some much needed practise in the longer version before the four-Test series against England [ Images ] starts off.

Apart from the quartet who are part of the current India [ Images ] set-up, there will be India U-19 captain Unmukt Chand, India A pacer Parvinder Awana and former India speedster Ashish Nehra [ Images ].

Mithun Manhas [ Images ] who has been Delhi's captain for the past two seasons won't be leading in presence of these players.

The only notable absentee is opener Shikhar Dhawan [ Images ] who will not be playing the first-round match due to his marriage.

Squad: Virender Sehwag (Captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Mithun Manhas, Unmukt Chand, Puneet Bisht, Sumit Narwal, Vikas Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Ishant Sharma, Parwinder Awana, Pradeep Sangwan, Yogesh Nagar/ Milind Kumar, Manoj Chauhan, Manan Sharma.
