Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has been added to India’s squad for the fourth Test against England starting Thursday at The Oval, the BCCI said Wednesday.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee – based on the request of the team management – has added fast bowler Prasidh Krishna to India’s squad for the fourth Test,” BCCI said in a media release. “Prasidh, who was on the standby list has been training and traveling with Team India right from the start of the tour.

England won by an innings and 76 runs in Leeds as India was bundled out for 78 runs in the first innings after Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat.

The fourth Test will be played at The Oval, London with the series level 1-1.
