Mumbai, Dec 7 (IBNS) : Middle order batsman Manish Pandey will replace an injured Ajinkya Rahane in the Indian squad for the fourth test match against England, Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced.

The BCCI  medical team has confirmed that Rahane sustained an avulsion fracture on his right index finger and has been ruled out for the remaining two Test matches of the Paytm series – 2016 against England.

A ball stuck Rahane during the practice session on Wednesday.

"Manish Pandey has been included in the team as a replacement for Rahane," a BCCI release said.

This apart, Mumbai medium pacer Shardul Thakur has been called as back up for India pacer Mohammed Shami, who is nursing a sore knee.

The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring Shami's progress and a decision on his participation will be taken before the start of the fourth Test match.
