4th Test: Dawson Returns To England Test Side After Eight Years, Replaces Injured Bashir
Liam Dawson: Liam Dawson is set to make a remarkable return to Test cricket after eight years as England named him in the playing XI for the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against India at Old Trafford, starting on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old replaces off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who suffered a fractured finger during the Lord’s Test. Despite the injury, Bashir bowled through pain to take the final wicket and help England clinch a 2-1 lead in the series.
Bashir has since undergone surgery, with a wire inserted in his left pinkie to aid recovery. In his absence, Dawson — who last played a Test in July 2017 against South Africa — steps in to add spin variety with his left-arm orthodox bowling and batting depth at No. 8.
