Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir has urged his side to come out of their comfort zone and make the upcoming England Test series a memorable one in the absence of stalwarts Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin.

"There are two ways of looking at this tour. One is we are without our three most experienced players or we got this phenomenal opportunity to do something special for the country. When I look around in this group, I think I see the hunger, the passion and the commitment to do something special. If we make sacrifices, if we come out of our comfort zone, if we start fighting not every day but every session, every hour and every ball, I think we can have a memorable tour," said Gambhir.

The 43-year-old former cricketer gave a special mention to debutants B Sai Sudharsan and Arshdeep Singh by saying that maiden Test calls are special.
