LONDON: England remembers Dawid Malan on Wednesday and dropped the opening of Dom Sibley from their troops when they saw to increase the top order of those who faltered for the third test next week against India in Headingley.
India 1-0 rose in the five-match series after the extraordinary 151-run victory in the second test in Lord’s on Monday where they were playing English only for 120 years was one of the four ducks in the English round, leaving with 60 overs The Bat after India Captain Virat Kohli stated, was dismissed with 49 remaining balls.
The 25-year-old Sibley has run a bad shape for some time, an average of only 14 in the first two series and under 20 years in this year’s cricket test.
Malan won the last of 15 exam hats during the 2018 victory over India in Edgbaston.
Headingley is now not only the land of Home County Hander left but where Leeds also where the 33-year-old player made 199, in his final first class, for Yorkshire against Sussex in June.
Malan, however, usually bats are not higher than number three.
And with Zak Crawley who struggled, who did not play in God, also fell together with Sibley from the 15-player squad, Haseeeb Hameed can now open with Rory Burns when the third test starts a week on Wednesday.
Hameed returned to test the cricket to God with a number of futile and nine but did it with the first goal down rather than in the preferred opening position.
Meanwhile, Paceman Saqib Mahmood was called into the squad, with England worried about Mark Wood’s fitness after Bowler quickly suffered a shoulder injury to God.
England has been unscathed by Stuart Broad, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes, with all-rounder star Stokes still not available due to mental health problems.
Mahmood, without parking at the test level, has been impressed in the white ball format and is an English man from the series in 3-0 from their one-day international campaign against Pakistan earlier this season.
British forces for the third test against India in Headingley, August 25-29: Joe Root (Captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Rory Butts, Jos Buttler (WKT), Sam Curran, Haseeb HameEb, and Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood , Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood
