England's spin stock on decline as leg-spinner leaves India tour midway to fly back home

India TV News  

England have suffered a major blow in the ongoing Test series against India as their emerging leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has flown back home due to personal reasons and won't be coming back for the fifth and final Test of the series to be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Rehan's absence may go on to hurt the English team as they have already lost the services of their premier left-arm orthodox bowler Jack Leach with a knee injury that he sustained during the first Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. England's playing XI for the 4th Test in Ranchi: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Ollie Robinson, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir. India's playing XI for the 4th Test in Ranchi: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
