The fourth Test of the five-match series between the India National Cricket Team and the England National Cricket Team is set to commence on July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester.
The 21-year-old off-spinner Shoaib Bashir suffered an injury during the third match against India at Lord's in London on Day 3 of the play.
On the fifth ball of the over, Shoaib Bashir bowled a length ball to Ravindra Jadeja, who walked down the track and smashed it hard back to the bowler.
He was winching in pain after suffering the blow and immediately asked for a physio. Seeing his situation being terrible, the decision was made to send him off the field to get treatment, and Joe Root was called in to bowl the last ball of the over.
Shoaib Bashir doubtful for Manchester Test
"England spinner Shoaib Bashir is being assessed by the medical team after taking a blow to his left little finger while bowling," the ECB said in a statement on Day 3.
"Shoaib Bashir’s left pinkie has been assessed overnight. Expected to bowl in fourth innings but sounds like he will only bat if required. Appears to be a major doubt for the fourth Test a week on Wednesday," the Telegraph journalist wrote on X.

It's the uncertainty that makes the third innings hard - England legend
Day 3 of India vs England Lord's Test ended on an intense note as the visiting players clashed with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett over their delaying tactics, and the hosts ended the day with 2/0 in one over.
"Most of the time, the batsmen don't know how to go about it in the third innings. Do you go hard and try to get a win or do you play slow if the match is heading for a draw? It's the uncertainty that makes the third innings hard. But I don't think that'll be an issue for this side. They'll have a target in mind and they'll go after it."
"If England bat really well tomorrow, they can give India maybe four or six overs late in the day. But they cannot be bowling much on day four after bowling on days two and three. They need to make sure the bowlers can have a nice chill-out day and give it all for day five."
