England Bowler To Miss Remainder Of India Test Series Due To THIS Season
After the thrilling 22-run win at Lord's, England confirmed that Bashir has fractured his left finger and is subsequently set to undergo a surgery later this week.
"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 and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement.
"England will name their squad for the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford in the next couple of days," it added.
Notably, Bashir's injury took place on Day 3 during the 78th over of India's first innings, when Ravindra Jadeja struck a powerful shot straight back at Shoaib Bashir, hitting his fingers as he tried to catch it.
The 21-year-old appeared to be in significant pain and left the field immediately. On the morning of Day 4, England had confirmed that Bashir is likely to bowl in the fourth innings.
Bashir, who played through injury on the final day, punched in with the final wicket of the game in the form of Mohammed Siraj, who put in a valiant effort with the bat, only to be dismissed in an unlucky fashion as India fell 22 runs short in their pursuit of a fourth innings target of 193 at Lord's.
England are yet to announce who will be taking Bashir's place in the squad with the fourth Test set to be played in Manchester from Wednesday, July 23.

India Finding It 'Tough' To Get Over Lord's Test Loss? Jadeja Says 'No One...'
Ajay Jadeja believes that the Indian cricket team dressing room must be having a hard time after the narrow loss against England in the third Test encounter at Lord's. Chasing 193, India were almost down and out after losing their eighth wicket. However, Ravindra Jadeja slammed a gritty half-century and stitched together partnerships with Jasprit Bumrah as well as Mohammed Siraj to keep the visitors in the hunt. The match went down to the wire and it was an unfortunate dismissal that ended Siraj's stay at the crease and clinched the game for England. With 1-2 down in the five-match series, Jadeja said that it will be hard for the team to take in the result at the moment but advised them to take a moment and process the emotions in order to bounce back ahead of the fourth Test match at Old Trafford. 'It's tough to think along those lines while you're in the dressing room. When you play and come so close, you cannot be thinking of it. There will be disappointment, and no one is more disappointed than him. A lot of things happened – what went wrong and what didn't. But real teams are those that emerge out of this strong, but today is not the day to talk about it,' he said on Sony Sports Network. "It's impossible. They have worked their whole lives for it, prepared for this tour, had their strategies, and then when you come this close and loose, it's not easy to take in. They have shown us already how to win from such adversities. No matter how much you console." Meanwhile, former India wicket-keeper batter Surinder Khanna believes Ravindra Jadeja should have been more aggressive on Day 5 of the third Test between India and England after the visitors lost by 22 runs at Lord's. While chasing 193, India's top and middle order showed little to no resistance against the uneven bounce on the pitch and left Jadeja with a massive job to do, with the side reeling at 82/7 at one point. What followed was an extremely gritty innings by the all-rounder as he scored an unbeaten 61 off 181 deliveries but could not get India over the line. Khanna said no one will remember Jadeja's innings as he could not be a hero. "We don't have a batter that can bat with tailenders. Once he was set, maybe he could have scored more runs. I think he will be thinking that he could have made more strokes. When the ball gets soft, Bumrah, Siraj will not be scoring runs, you have to win the match and be a hero. People will forget this 60 (61) not out," Khanna told IANS.
