England team management has recalled Dawid Malan in the Test squad for the third Test against India at Headlingley starting August 25.
Opener Dominic Sibley has been dropped from the side after a string of poor performances.
England lost the first Test by 151 runs in a dramatic fashion after their top-order collapsed and exposed the middle and lower order to Indian bowlers.
The England openers have failed to put up a substantial partnership.
“Dawid Malan deserves his opportunity in the Test arena. He has a lot of experience across all formats and, if called upon, I am confident that he can come and do well on his home ground,” said England head coach Chris Silverwood in a statement issued by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
“In the limited time he has played first-class cricket this season, he has shown what he is capable of, scoring a highly accomplished 199 for Yorkshire against Sussex at Headingley in June,” added Silverwood.
The England medical team will monitor seamer Mark Wood’s injured right shoulder sustained at the end of day four during the first Test at Lord’s. It is expected that he will make a full recovery ahead of the Headingley Test, said the statement from ECB.
England squad for thrid Test:
Joe Root (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood.
