Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav will join the Indian Cricket team in England

New Delhi: The Indian Cricket team is badly suffered from injury problems to many cricketers on the tour of England. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav as replacements. Both of them are currently part of the Indian team playing in the T20 Series in Srilanka.

According to information from BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, All-rounder Washington Sundar had taken an injection on his right-hand bowling finger. However, his recovery will take longer than expected and he is not bowling-fit. He is ruled out for the remainder of the tour.

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.
