Ahead of the Test series against England, the Indian team has suffered a major setback as team's young opener Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the entire series due to injury. Now, Mayank Agarwal can be given a chance in place of Gill as an opener with Rohit Sharma.
According to the reports, Indian team opener Shubman will now leave England tour and return to India. Gill has suffered a shin stress fracture, which may take at least two months to recover. Although his injury is serious, but for the time being there will be no need for surgery. If reports are to be believed, he will be in rehab for the time being.
The team management in England has informed the BCCI about Shubman Gill being ruled out of the series. According to the reports, the team management has requested to send opener Prithvi Shaw to England as a replacement for Gill, but its written application has not yet reached the chairman of the board. India has to play the first Test match against England from 4 August. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will play ODI series and T20 matches against India B between July 13 and July 25.
The first ODI will be played on July 13 while the second match of the series will be played on July 16. The last match of the ODI series is to be played on 18 July. At the same time, the T20 series will start from July 21. The second match of this limited-overs series will be played on 23 July while the last match of the series will be played on 25 July.
