Bashir Out, Dawson Recalled for India Series

England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir has been ruled out of the remainder of the Test series against India after fracturing the little finger of his left hand during the third Test at Lord's, which England won by 22 runs to lead the series 2-1. Despite his injury, Bashir returned to bat and took the final wicket, sealing England's win. He is scheduled to undergo surgery and will miss the critical fourth and fifth Tests. In response, England has recalled left-arm spinner Liam Dawson to the squad after an eight-year absence, citing his recent county form. Captain Ben Stokes and teammates praised Bashir's bravery and noted the impact of his absence on England's spin options. The fourth Test begins on July 23 in Manchester, with England to finalize their squad soon.
