England announced playing-11 for the 4th test against India: England has announced its playing XI for the fourth Test against India to be held in Manchester from July 23.

Shoaib Bashir has been replaced by left-arm spinner Liam Dawson, who is making a comeback to Test cricket after almost eight years. The 35-year-old Dawson last wore England's white jersey against South Africa in July 2017 and has been performing consistently well in domestic cricket since then. His inclusion in the team is a testament to his form in county cricket, where he has performed well with both bat and ball.
Bashir suffered this injury while trying to stop a tremendous straight drive from Ravindra Jadeja on the third day at Headingley. The young spinner's brilliant series was cut short due to a fracture in the index finger of his left hand. He then underwent surgery, which ruled him out of England's plans for the remaining matches.
