England has made a surprise call-up for the fourth Test against India in Manchester, as they recalled Liam Dawson after eight years to replace the injured young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Bashir broke his left little finger during England’s 22-run victory over India in the third Test at Lord’s.
Despite the injury, the youngster bravely played on, even taking the final wicket to seal a thrilling win for England at Lord’s. But Bashir has been ruled out of the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test, as he will undergo surgery this week.

He had previously told the England selectors not to consider him unless he was in the playing XI, which led him to test actions for 8 years.
