The BCCI Medical Team: In a major blow to the Indian team, seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana and wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy have been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing T20I series against England due to hamstring injuries.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the development shortly after the toss for the crucial fourth T20I at the County Ground, with India electing to bat first in a must-win clash.

"Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy sustained hamstring injuries in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge. The BCCI Medical Team has assessed them and ruled them out of the 4th and 5th T20Is," said the BCCI in an official statement.
