Dawson back in England team after eight-year absence for fourth test v India
The 35-year-old Hampshire left-armer, who replaces the injured Shoaib Bashir, is the only change to the team for the fourth test which begins on Wednesday. Dawson has not played a test match since earning his third test cap in July 2017.
Dawson, an unused member of the 2019 World Cup winning squad, did feature in the Twenty20 series against West Indies in June.
Bashir suffered a fracture to his finger during the third test at Lord's, which England won by 22 runs to take a 2-1 lead, leaving them one victory away from clinching their first five-match series win since 2018.

Australia suffer World Cup blow as Caslick ruled out
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox MELBOURNE - Former Olympic sevens champion Charlotte Caslick has been ruled out of the women's Rugby World Cup in England in a blow for Australia's hopes of a maiden title. Caslick, who was named sevens World Player of the Year in 2016, damaged her ankle against New Zealand last month but was included in Jo Yapp's Australia squad last week. Yapp said on Monday Caslick's timeline to recover and be available during the World Cup pool phase had changed. "Following medical advice, the decision was made to allow her to continue on an accelerated recovery program, where she could be available as an injury replacement should we require a player later in the tournament," Yapp said in a Rugby Australia statement. "We're really disappointed to lose Charlotte so close to the World Cup. She has shown great commitment to the XVs program and Wallaroos this year." Uncapped centre Manu'a Moleka has been called into the squad as a replacement. "We're really fortunate and excited that Manu'a can join us for the World Cup," added Yapp. Top stories Swipe. Select.
