IND vs ENG, 3rd Test: Ashwin to rejoin Team India on Day 4 in Rajkot

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday confirmed that lead off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will rejoin the Indian side on Day 4 of the third Test against England at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

Ashwin had stepped away from the action after Day 2 of the Test due to a family emergency.

On the same day, Ashwin had breached the 500-wicket mark in Test cricket, becoming the second Indian to reach the landmark.

“Both R Ashwin and the team management are pleased to confirm that he will be back in action on Day 4 and will continue to contribute towards the team cause in the ongoing Test match,” a BCCI statement said.
