ENG vs IND: Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav end quarantine; join Team India at Lord's

India batsmen Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav, who has earned a maiden call up to the Test squad, have completed their quarantine in the UK and have joined the team at Lord’s. 

The visitors have had a long list of injury issues before and during the five-match series with opening batsman Shubman Gill, all-rounder Washington Sundar and pacer Avesh Khan getting ruled out. 

Gill sustained a developing stress reaction on his left lower leg (shin) during the World Test Championship final while Sundar fractured his finger during the warm-up match. 

Avesh suffered a blow on his thumb during the practice game to get ruled out of the tour.

The duo was called up to the Test side after the team management decided to bolster the squad keeping in mind the length of the series against England.

India had also suffered an injury to Mayank Agarwal, who was hit on his head by Mohammed Siraj in the nets ahead of the first Test. In his place, KL Rahul was recalled to the top of the order for the first Test, and he cashed in on the opportunity to remain in the side for the second Test as well.

India's list of injuries concern did not end there either as Shardul Thakur was ruled out of the second encounter due to a hamstring injury. 

The first match between the two sides ended in a draw while India rode on KL Rahul’s ton and some fine batting from Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja to put 364 on the board in the first innings. 

India Squad: Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (Captain), Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohd. Shami, Md. Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Abhimanyu Easwaran, Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav
