England’s Shoaib Bashir ruled out of remainder of India Tests
England spinner Shoaib Bashir has unfortunately been ruled out of the remaining two tests of the five-match series against India due to a fractured finger. The young bowler is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week. He played a key role in England’s staggering 22-run win against India in the third Test on Monday at Lord's, taking the crucial wicket of Mohammed Siraj to wrap up the proceedings. He picked up the injury on day three of the third Test when Ravindra Jadeja hit a massive shot straight back to Bashir, hitting his left hand.
"It's not good news for Bash. Very disappointing for us as a team and for him, a big shame,” Ben Stokes said during the press conference.
"The courage that he showed to go out there and bat at the end for us and willing to sit there on the bench waiting for his moment to come on and bowl just proves how much it means to everyone who gets the opportunity to put the shirt on, that not even a couple of breaks is going to stop anyone getting out there,” he said.
The third Test will begin on July 23 at Manchester.
