    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Dehi, Aug 22 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> Prithvi Shaw, the 2018 Under-19 World Cup winning skipper, on Wednesday broke into the India Test side even as the BCCI senior selection committee dropped off-colour opener Murali Vijay and Kuldeep Yadav from the squad for the remaining two Tests of the five-match rubber against England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 18-year-old Shaw, who captained the India colts to the World Cup title in February, has since been part of India&#39;s A teams, besides being picked by the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Besides Shaw, Andhra Pradesh skipper Hanuma Vihari was also picked in the squad that will face England in the fourth and fifth Tests at Southampton and London respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both Shaw and Vihari are in great batting form, having each belted centuries against South Africa A earlier this month. They also impressed with the bat during their recent trip to England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, the axe on Vijay came on expected lines after he was dropped from the Trent Bridge Test that India won by a handsome 203 runs on Wednesday and managed to stay alive in the five-Test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 34-year-old Vijay, who played the opening two Tests at Edgbaston and London, could manage just 26 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, Kuldeep&#39;s selection under overcast conditions at Lord&#39;s had already raised a few eyebrows and the chinaman has now been sent back home to play for the India A team.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Head coach Ravi Shastri said at the end of the third Test that he hoped premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to recover from his hip injury by the time the fourth Test starts on August 30. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja is already waiting for his turn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India squad for fourth and fifth Tests: Virat Kohli (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohamme<\/p>\r\n",
