Ind vs Eng 4th Test: Liam Dawson comes in as Shoaib Bashir's replacement

Liam Dawson

England on Monday replaced off-spinner Shoaib Bashir with slow left-arm orthodox bowler Liam Dawson as their only change in the playing XI for the fourth Test against India which starts here on July 23.

Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of the series after suffering fracture on the left hand's index finger on the third day of the third Test trying to stop a powerful drive from Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

Bashir had since then undergone a surgery. But the off-spinner had taken the final wicket of the third Test to give England a 22-run narrow win in the third Test.
