The Indian cricket board announced on Thursday (29), that pace ace Jasprit Bumrah will play in the final Test match against England after missing the team's series-clinching victory in the fourth game.
In the last Test, which India won in Ranchi by five wickets to seize an unassailable three-point lead in the five-match series, Bumrah was rested.
For the final Test, which begins on March 7, Bumrah "will link-up with the squad in Dharamsala," according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Batsman K.L. Rahul, who was forced to miss the previous three games because of a quad injury he sustained in the first game, will now miss another one.
Washington Sundar, a spinner, has been left off the roster to play for his state team Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy semifinals. "If need be," he will return to the national team for the Test match.
The fast bowler Mohammed Shami shared pictures of himself from the hospital on social media on Tuesday (27), following surgery, and the BCCI confirmed that the procedure was effective in treating his right heel issue.
According to the statement, "He is recuperating nicely and will shortly travel to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to begin his rehabilitation process."
The following players represent India: Devdutt Padikkal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh; Rohit Sharma, captain; Jasprit Bumrah, vice-captain; Yashasvi Jaiswal; Shubman Gill; Rajat Patidar; Sarfaraz Khan; Dhruv Jurel; KS Bharat Kumar, Akash Deep.
