England have made two changes in their playing eleven for the fourth Test match against India which will be commencing from Friday in Ranchi. England have recalled Ollie Robinson and Shoaib Bashir for the most crucial clash. As per their tradition, England have announced their playing XI on the eve of fourth Test. 

England are trailing by 1-2 in the five-match series, making this clash truly vital to win if they want to keep themselves alive in the series. Ollie Robinson will ball alongside James Anderson, further strengthening England’s bowling attack. Although, Anderson didn’t get much of a help in the third game, returning with only one wicket. Shoaib Bashir and Ollie Robinson come in place of Rehan Ahmad and Mark Wood respectively. 

Ollie Robinson returns to England side for the first time since suffering a back spasm during the first innings of the third Ashes Test last year in July. This will be Ollie Robinson’s first Test match in India. England have a lot to play for to stand a chance to hand India a defeat to level the series 2-2.
