England have announced their squad for the all-important third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, bringing in fast bowler Gus Atkinson ahead of the clash at Lord’s, scheduled to begin on July 10.
The five-match series is currently tied at 1-1 following India’s dominant 336-run win at Edgbaston earlier today.
Atkinson, who last featured for England in May against Zimbabwe, returns after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during that series.
The injury had ruled him out of the ODIs against the West Indies and the initial matches of the marquee series against India.
The rest of the squad remains unchanged from the one announced for the second Test.
England had included Jofra Archer in the squad for the Edgbaston Test but opted to go in unchanged following their opening victory at Headingley, delaying Archer’s comeback in whites.
India leveled the series with a resounding 336-run win at Edgbaston earlier today, after England had clinched the first Test in Leeds by five wickets.
The remaining two Tests of the series will be played at Old Trafford (July 23) and the Oval (July 31).
England Squad for 3rd Test against India: Ben Stokes (C), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes
