NEW DELHI: Pacer Ollie Robinson has been included in the England squad for the fourth Test against India in Ranchi, commencing on Friday, marking his debut in the series.
The 30-year-old's last appearance for England was in the third Ashes Test at Headingley last year, where he managed just 11.2 overs before being sidelined due to a back spasm.
Robinson steps in for Mark Wood, who featured in two of the India Tests.
Additionally, spinner Shoaib Bashir earns a spot in the XI, replacing Rehan Ahmed.
