ECB recalls Wood for third Test against India

AFP, Rajkot :
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Wednesday brought fast bowler Mark Wood into their playing XI for the third Test against India, opting to go with two seamers for the first time in the series.
Wood regained his place in the squad after England decided to change the three-spinners-and-one-seamer combination they have used so far in the five-match series, currently tied 1-1.
Wood, 34, played as the solitary seamer in the first Test before being replaced by James Anderson for the second match.
Spinner Shoaib Bashir will sit out the third Test starting today on a green-tinged Rajkot wicket that is likely to assist the pacers.
Bashir’s spin partner Rehan Ahmed, 19, kept his place in the line-up after resolving minor visa issues.
