Shoaib Bashir out of remainder of England vs India Test series with fractured finger that requires surgery | Cricket News

The England Spinner Shoaib Bashir suffered a fracture in one of his left fingers and was excluded from the rest of the series of tests against India.

He must undergo surgery later this week.

Bashir proposed Mohammed Siraj’s winning window in the third test at Lord’s to give England the 22-point victory and a 2-1 lead in the five game series.

The young Spinner underwent the injury during the third day of the third test when he played Ravira Jadeja, a bottom by car returning directly to him and hitting him on his left hand.

England will appoint their team for the fourth test at Emirates Old Trafford in the coming days.

After the victory at Lord’s, Stokes admitted that it was not good news on Bashir but congratulated the bravery he had shown to go out and beat for his team before finding the winner.

“Each time I turned to the bench to ask for a drink, I saw the little Bashir head take a look there ready to leave,” said Stokes.

“We were obviously told that the leaders of the match said that when he did not make a bowling alley, he could stay out of the field, but when he was in bowling, he had to stay there.

“We have launched their range of strikers with Seam a lot, so simply breaking this flow of the game with Spin was something that I was going to go.

“It’s great that Bash was able to get this last window with what he was to face this week.

“This is not good news. It will be disappointing for us as a team and for him.

“It is a great shame but the courage he has shown to go there and beat for us and be ready to sit there on the bench and to wait for his moment to play, I think it proves how much it means for all those who can put the shirt.

“Even some breaks will not prevent anyone from going out.”

What are the options to replace Bashir?

For Sky Sports Cricket’s Nasser Hussain and Stuart Broad, the main options to replace Bashir are Jack Leach, Liam Dawson and Jacob Bethell.

“You have someone who has been in the configuration for some time like Jack Leach, he could enter,” said Hussain.

“It depends on who they want as a second spinner in Australia. You think Bashir will happen in the second spinner.

“You could go Liam Dawson, I really like Dawson as a cricket player.

“He was opened with him with the white ball stuff, he entered the T20 side and well done.

“Everyone is going and he is back in the fold and he was with Brendon McCullum.

“Then you can go Jack Carson, the young dedicate to Sussex.

“I spoke to Cheteshwar Pujara about him today and he said he was a real talent.

“There is also Calvin Harrison but he is a bit left.

“Then there is Jacob Bethell. You could play Bethell as a spinner who is beating now that they are standing and really go deep with your striker.

“For me, it’s Leach or Dawson but they could go anywhere with this selection.”

“I think it’s difficult, isn’t it? At Old Trafford, I think you need a specialized spinner,” added Broad.

“This mention of Bethell who could enter and beat at n ° 8, then turn his left arm, then use Joe Root as a spinner of the left arm.

“Leach is still on a central contract, he was the second spinner in New Zealand.

“Dawson is also a solid option, right? He did very well in the T20 in Durham.

“He is a solid cricket player, he won’t let you down, and he fills well at n ° 8 if you wanted to rest Chris Woakes.”
