Dawson Back in England Team After Eight-Year Absence for Fourth Test v India

GREATER MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, JUL 20 – Liam Dawson returns after eight years to replace injured Shoaib Bashir, strengthening England's spin and batting as they aim to secure a 3-1 lead in the series, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, July 23, England cricket announced one change to their XI for the Fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford, with Liam Dawson replacing Shoaib Bashir in his first Test since July 2017.
  • The injury to Shoaib Bashir left him ruled out of the series, forcing England to recall Liam Dawson for the fourth Test at Old Trafford.
  • His comeback follows his last match against South Africa at Nottingham in July 2017.
  • His inclusion has strengthened England's batting order, Harry Brook said, calling Dawson a `wily old fox` and expressing confidence in his impact.
  • England lead the series 2-1 and will aim to wrap up the contest in Manchester, where a win would seal the series for Ben Stokes's team.
