Opener Prithvi Shaw and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav joined the Indian Test team at Lord's on Saturday after completing their quarantine on arrival from India, the Indian cricket board has confirmed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav have completed their quarantine period and have joined the team at Lord's," said a statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shaw and Yadav were called up to the Indian squad following injuries to opener Shubman Gill, pacer Avesh Khan and spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar. The three have returned home. Shaw and Yadav left for England a day before the first Test started last week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
One of them could get an opportunity if the Indian middle-order continues to fail. Both No. 3 Cheteshwar Pujara and No. 5 Ajinkya Rahane have failed to get going in the innings they have played this year in England, including the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in June.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pujara has failed in all three Tests so far and his highest (38) on the tour has come in the warm-up against the County Select XI last month. Rahane, who missed the warm-up, has a highest of 49 which he got in the WTC final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Skipper Virat Kohli too has failed to get a half-century so far.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/prithvi-shaw,-suryakumar-yadav-join-team-after-completing-quarantine.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for ENG vs IND: Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav Join Team After Completing Quarantine", "alt_title": "ENG vs IND: Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav Join Team After Completing Quarantine", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ENG vs IND: Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav Join Team After Completing Quarantine On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Opener Prithvi Shaw and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav joined the Indian Test team at Lord's on Saturday after completing their quarantine on arrival from India, the Indian cricket board has confirmed.", "seo_keywords": "Suryakumar Yadav, Prithvi Shaw, Test Cricket, India cricket news, India Cricket Team", "tag": null, "tagging": "Suryakumar Yadav,Prithvi Shaw,Test Cricket,India cricket news,India Cricket Team,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "prithvi-shaw-and-suryakumar-yadav-join-indian-team-after-completing-quarantine-at-england-tour", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "2173", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-08-14 19:34:10", "updated": "2021-08-14 19:34:30", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "India tour of England, Test Series, Test Cricket, India vs England, Prithvi Shaw at Lords, Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yada, Quarantine Period", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "27", "jio_date": "2021-08-14 19:34:10", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-08-14 19:34:10", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/prithvi-shaw-and-suryakumar-yadav-join-indian-team-after-completing-quarantine-at-england-tour-81468" }
