Dan Lawrence Called Up As Brook’s Replacement In England Squad India Tests
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Dan Lawrence has been named as Harry Brook's replacement in England's Test squad for their tour of India starting on January 25 in Hyderabad. An earlier statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said Brook would be missing England’s entire tour of India due to personal reasons.
"Surrey's Dan Lawrence to join the England Men's Test squad in the next 24 hours," said a post from England Cricket on its social media accounts. Lawrence, 26, bats in the middle-order, just like Brook and has earned 11 Test caps so far, amassing 551 runs at an average of 29, including four half-centuries.
He’s also bagged three wickets with his part-time off-spin. Lawrence featured thrice during England's tour of India in 2021, scoring 149 runs and averaging 24.83. He had not been included in England Lions’ ongoing series against India ‘A’ in Ahmedabad.
