England announce playing XI for 4th Test vs India at Manchester
Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of the England vs India Test series on Monday due to a finger fracture which he sustained during the third match at Lord's, which his side won to take a 2-1 lead.
'England men's spinner Shoaib Bashir has sustained a fracture to his left finger and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rothesay Test series against India. He is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week. England will name their squad for the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford in the next couple of days,' the ECB said a couple of weeks ago.

Bashir sustained injury to his little finger of his left hand on the third day of the Lord's Test while bowling to Ravindra Jadeja, who hit a powerful low drive straight back to the bowler. He bowled just 5.5 overs in India's second innings, but had the honour of ending the visiting side's run chase of 193, scalping the wicket of last batter Mohammed Siraj as England notched a memorable 22-run win.
Dawson, meanwhile, last played Test cricket for England in July 2017 and will be looking to make his comeback after eight long years. The 35-year-old has been a consistent performer for Hampshire over several years and was named PCA Player of the Year in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
Earlier, ECB had also released pacers Sam Cook and Jamie Overton, both of whom have returned to their respective counties to play in the County Championship.
England lead India 2-1 in the 5-match Test series with the hosts winning the 1st and the 3rd Tests at Leeds and Lord's respectively while the visitors clawed one win back at Edgbaston.

Openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley started the innings in true Bazball style, immediately putting pressure on the Indian bowlers. From there, the attack kept building. Joe Root went on to smash 150, surpassing Ricky Ponting's tally and now sits just behind the great Sachin Tendulkar in terms of Test runs.

With two days still left in the Test match and England already leading by 186 runs, there is a slight possibility that India could end up losing the match by an innings and runs.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 4: Rain likely to disrupt play as India desperately eye breakthroughs
India vs England Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 4: Joe Root played a masterful innings of 150 to become the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket history, while captain Ben Stokes overcame cramps to remain unbeaten on 77, as England surged to a formidable 186-run lead over India at stumps on Day 3 of the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Friday. Starting the day at 225/2, England added a massive 319 runs for the loss of five wickets. Root was the star of the show, crafting his 38th Test century with clinical precision and artistic poise. His knock saw him surpass Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid, and Ricky Ponting to climb to No. 2 on the all-time list of Test run-scorers. Root stitched together a 144-run partnership with Ollie Pope (71), before Stokes joined the act with his best batting display of the series so far. With Liam Dawson (21* off 48) also steady at the crease, England will look to further stretch their advantage on Day 4. India's bowlers were largely ineffective, missing their lines and lengths and offering up too many scoring opportunities. Adding to India's concerns, both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were forced to leave the field at various points during the second session due to ankle niggles—although Bumrah later returned. It was also the first time since 2021 that India conceded over 500 runs in a Test innings, leaving them with a daunting task to stay in the contest. The morning began cautiously before Root flicked Bumrah for four, followed by Pope and Root collecting boundaries off Siraj. Root had a stroke of luck on 22 when a misdirected throw from Jadeja gave him a reprieve, with no backing up from either mid-off or mid-on. The English pair continued to find regular boundaries, and Pope soon brought up his 16th Test fifty off 93 balls. Root crossed 31 to move past Dravid and Kallis in the all-time charts. When Washington Sundar was brought into the attack in the 69th over, Root reached his 104th fifty-plus Test score from 99 deliveries just before lunch. After the break, Sundar struck immediately—Pope, attempting a leg-side guide, edged to slip where KL Rahul took a sharp catch. India's reluctance to take the second new ball continued to pay off as Sundar again deceived Harry Brook in the air, with Dhruv Jurel completing a clean stumping to remove him for 3. As Root and Stokes began finding their rhythm, England took the lead. Root, after lingering in the 90s for 18 balls, reached his second century of the series—and 12th against India—with a leg-side flick off debutant Anshul Kamboj in the 96th over. The Old Trafford crowd erupted in unison with chants of 'ROOOOT'. The celebrations intensified when Root clipped Kamboj behind point in the 101st over to go past Ponting and become the second-highest scorer in Test history—just before the tea break. Post-tea, Bumrah returned but was not at his sharpest. Root continued to impress with a drive past mid-on off Shardul Thakur, while Stokes cracked a half-volley through the covers for four. Stokes reached his 36th Test fifty and followed it with audacious shots—a reverse sweep for four off Jadeja and a pull off Sundar. However, he began showing signs of cramp in his left calf and retired hurt on 66 at the end of the 116th over. The ECB later confirmed it was cramp-related. Root registered his 16th Test score of 150 or more before his sublime innings ended on exactly 150, when Jadeja produced a spinning, bouncing delivery that beat the outside edge and had him stumped. Bumrah then returned to make an immediate impact, dismissing debutant Jamie Smith with a delivery that nipped away, finding the edge. Jurel took a sharp low catch, giving Bumrah his 50th Test wicket on English soil. Siraj added his name to the wickets column by getting the ball to keep low, sneaking through Chris Woakes' inside edge to hit the stumps. Stokes returned to the crease and, along with Dawson, ensured England closed the day without further loss in what was a commanding display of Test cricket.
