New Delhi: <\/span>Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav will bolster India’s batting lineup for their Test series in England after being named as injury replacements on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaw and Yadav are currently in Sri Lanka playing a limited-overs series. They will switch because of injuries to Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan and Washington Sundar, the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether they would take part in the final two Twenty20 matches in Colombo. Yadav played a key role in India’s win on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The BCCI said Sundar had needed an injection on a finger in his right hand and was ruled out of the England tour.<\/p>\n

Khan fractured a thumb in a warm-up game while Gill suffered a shin injury during the World Test Championship (WTC) final defeat to New Zealand last month.<\/p>\n

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has\u00a0meanwhile recovered from Covid-19 with two negative tests and started preparations for the five Tests starting August 4 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.<\/p>\n

Bowling coach B. Arun, Wriddhiman Saha and Abhimanyu Easwaran have completed self-isolation in London and joined the squad in Durham, the BCCI said.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli’s Test side stayed in England and were given a break after the WTC final in Southampton. Pant did not stay in the team hotel during that period and tested positive on July 8.<\/p>\n

Net bowler Dayanand Garani also tested positive with Arun, Saha and Easwaran identified as contacts and underwent 10 days of isolation.<\/p>\n
