Sundar and Khan follow the opening Shubhman Gill in a list of injuries that the Indian team has caused, reducing 24 troops to only 21.
Given the existing task – the five-test series, involving 25 cricket days in 40 -day windows – The Cricket Board now feels necessary to pack In replacement.
Toi understands that the national voter enters the crowd to find out this replacement.

But now all good rounds and the upcoming Pacer have also been ruled out.
Given the length of the tour, BCCI must send a replacement, “said the source.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar can also be in the mixture, considering he can bat and can be effective in English conditions,” they said to trace developments.
“That’s the reason for replacement must be sent earliest.
We are only 10 days from the first test, so they will not be available for the game.
At least they have to start working for the second test and even it will be close if India is forced to play one of the newcomers , “said the source.

But, how many replacements still the question.
Charan Sharma’s head voter was asked to contact team management in the UK and the council learned to discuss two replacements and not three.
