London: Graham Onions has been called into the England squad for the fourth Test against India at The Oval, after Chris Tremlett was ruled out on Monday and James Anderson emerged as a new injury concern.
Although Anderson’s leg injury has so far been described as “minor” his potential unavailability would be a major blow to England’s hopes of closing out a 4-0 whitewash of India.
“Unfortunately Chris Tremlett has failed a fitness test and won’t be available for selection for the fourth npower Test, despite showing strong signs of recovery over the past few days,” national selector Geoff Miller said. “Chris’ absence has led to a call-up for Onions as precautionary bowling cover.” (Agencies)
