Injured England off-spinner Bashir ruled out of remainder of Test series against India

England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir was on Monday ruled out of the remainder of the five-match series against India after he sustained a finger fracture during the third Test, which the home side won by 22 runs at the Lord's here. The 21-year-old Bashir is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week. 

England men’s spinner Shoaib Bashir has sustained a fracture to his left finger and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rothesay Test series against India. He is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week," the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.

"England will name their squad for the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford in the next couple of days," the ECB said.

Bashir sustained injury to his little finger of his left hand on the third day of the Lord's Test while bowling to Ravindra Jadeja, who hit a powerful low drive straight back to the bowler. He bowled just 5.5 overs in India's second innings, but had the honour of ending the visiting side's run chase of 193, scalping the wicket of last batter Mohammed Siraj as England notched a memorable 22-run win. He also bowled 14.5 overs in the first innings, where he took a wicket. 

The fourth Test begins on July 23 in Manchester. England is currently leading the five-test match series by 2-1. In the very next test match, they would like to win the series while the Indian Team wants to make a bounceback.
