Dawson Replaces Injured Bashir in England Squad for Fourth Test

Due to an injury to off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, England have brought left-arm spinner Liam Dawson into their lineup for the upcoming fourth Test against India at Old Trafford, starting July 23.
Bashir fractured his non-bowling left finger during the third Test while attempting a low catch off his own bowling and will miss the rest of the five-match series.
Dawson, a 35-year-old left-arm spinner who last played a Test in July 2017, earned a recall after excelling in the County Championship and recent T20 matches for Hampshire.
Selector Luke Wright praised Dawson, saying, "Liam Dawson deserves his call-up" and highlighted his "outstanding form in the County Championship" alongside consistent performances for Hampshire.
Dawson's inclusion strengthens England's 14-player squad, which leads the series 2-1 following a thrilling 22-run victory at Lord's over India.
