Yes, he is in the team for England. Given that someone or the other will be injured because they took a bouncer on a glove and broke a finger (due to bad technique or bad luck), Nair will get a test. I would drop both Dhawan and Pujara in England because of their track record in the SANE countries. Move Rahane up to #3. So, my batting order would be:

Rahul, Vijay, Rahane, Kohli, Nair, Hardik, Wk, Spinner, Bhuvi, Bumrah, Shami/Umesh

But of course, Dhawan and possibly Pujara will play and we will possibly see Ishant back too :-(

Karun Nair will not be a starting xi player in England and for good reason.
