India tour of England: Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav named as replacements for 5-Test series

India in England: BCCI's All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav as replacements for the five-match Test series vs England.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday added Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav to India's squad for the Test series vs England, following injuries to Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Avesh Khan. Both are currently in Sri Lanka with the Shikhar Dhawan-led white-ball side and were part of India's squad in the first T20I that was played on Sunday (July 25) in Colombo. Fast bowler Avesh Khan suffered a blow to his left thumb on Day 1 of the warm-up game. He was taken for an X-Ray and the result confirmed a fracture. A specialist was consulted for further management of his injury. He is ruled out of India’s Tour of England.
