IND Vs ENG, 4th Test: England Announce Playing XI For Old Trafford; Liam Dawson Replaces Injured Shoaib Bashir
England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of the series after picking up an injury on the third day of the Lord’s Test
England have roped in Liam Dawson to the playing XI, replacing the injured Shoaib Bashir in the side. Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of the series after picking up an injury on the third day of the 3rd IND vs ENG Test.
Bashir’s exit led to the recall of 35-year-old Dawson, who last played the third of his three Tests so far in July 2017 against South Africa. Dawson comes back into side in the wake of some solid county performances.
Ben Stokes-led England lead the series 2-1 after winning the Lord's Test by 22-runs in dramatic fashion.
The hosts had won the series opener at Leeds by five wickets while India had recorded a massive 336-run win in the second Test at Birmingham.
England Playing XI For The 4th Test:
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (vc), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer.
