										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are some of the voices that were chosen for India&#8217;s upcoming trip to England. The omission of Ashwin from the Indian playing XI in tests has long been a source of debate. It&#8217;s certain to raise some questions when the number two ranked player in testing gets dropped from the starting eleven.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s not so much that Ashwin has been dropped as it is how he has been dropped. When there is even the tiniest amount of pressure on player selection, he almost always seems to be dropped. In most cases, your greatest players have automatically assured a spot, but Ashwin is the polar opposite.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Opener Prithvi Shaw and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav have been added to the Indian Test squad for the five-match series against England starting August 4 as replacements to injured players Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar.</p>
<p>Bengal opener Abhimanyu Easwaran, who was in standby has been added to the main squad with standby pacer Avesh Khan also going back home with a fractured left thumb.</p>
<p>Gill is out with shin splints while Sundar has an injury to his right-hand bowling finger.</p>
<p>&#8220;The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav as replacements,&#8221; BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a media release.</p>
<p>&#8220;All-rounder Washington Sundar had taken an injection on his right-hand bowling finger. However, his recovery will take longer than expected and he is not bowling-fit. He is ruled out of the remainder of the tour,&#8221; it further stated.</p>
<p>Both Avesh and Washington sustained their injuries while turning up for County XI in the first-class warm-up game against their own side. This was done after multiple players in the home team were ruled out either due to injury or because of COVID-19 isolation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fast bowler Avesh Khan suffered a blow to his left thumb on Day 1 of the warm-up game. He was taken for an X-Ray and the result confirmed a fracture. A specialist was consulted for further management of his injury. He is ruled out of India&#8217;s Tour of England,&#8221; the BCCI said.</p>
<p>The Board also informed that wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was tested positive for Covid, &#8220;has recovered from COVID-19 with two negative RT-PCR tests. He (Pant) has begun his preparations for the upcoming Test series after clearance from the BCCI Medical Team,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
