Yadnai Delhi: After winning the Lord’s Test, there has been a big change in the England cricket team. Spinner Liam Dawson has been included in the squad for the Manchester Test starting on July 23. Liam Dawson will replace Shoaib Bashir in the fourth Test, who bowled the Mohammed series at Lord’s and gave England a 2–1 lead in the series.

The last match was played eight years ago
35 -year -old Liam Dawson, who replaced 21 -year -old Shoaib Bashir, was also part of England’s 2019 World Cup winning squad. He has also played three Tests, six ODIs and 14 T20 Internationals for England. He did not get a single match to play a single match after a 340 -run defeat against South Africa at Trent Bridge in 2017.

There was a collision with many big names
Despite this, he continued to play for Hampshire in county cricket. He took 21 wickets in the current season. They also contribute to batting in lower order. Apart from Dawson, England also had options like Jack Leach, Rehan Ahmed, Jacob Bathal and Will Jacks.

Tremendous domestic record
Dawson has so far taken 371 wickets in 212 first -class matches. He is also a useful batsman of the lower middle order. He has scored more than 10,000 runs in first class cricket, including 18 centuries. He has been consistently performing well for Hampshire for many years.

Bashir’s finger injury

It is necessary to mention here that Shoaib Bashir was sitting in the finger of his left hand during the fielding on the third day of the third Test.

England Squad: Ben Stokes (Captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bathle, Harry Brook, Bridon Cars, Jack Croly, Liam Dawson, Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tung and Chris Vox.
