London: England on Sunday called Steven Finn into the squad for the fourth Test against India to replace injured paceman Liam Plunkett. After suffering particularly badly on England’s disastrous Ashes tour of Australia, Finn has been in good form for Middlesex this season.

Yorkshire’s Plunkett dropped out to rest an injured ankle that will not be recovered in time for the fourth Test starting at Old Trafford on Thursday, with the five-match series level at 1-1. “Liam Plunkett experienced some left ankle discomfort at the end of the second Test and will miss the fourth Test as this continues to settle,” the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a short statement.

England hope that rest will get Plunkett ready for the fifth Test starting on August 15. (PTI)
