Jennings, Dawson added to England squad

London: England have called up uncapped duo Keaton Jennings and Liam Dawson to their tour of India.

Durham opener Jennings, 24, replaces Lancashire's Haseeb Hameed, 19, who will miss the remaining two Tests after breaking his left hand.

Hampshire all-rounder Dawson, 26, comes in for Zafar Ansari, who has been struggling with a back injury.

England are 2-0 down in the series with two matches to play. The fourth Test starts on 8 December.

Meanwhile, England say they expect Chris Woakes to be fit for next week's fourth Test in Mumbai despite an X-ray showing a crack on his right thumb.

All-rounder Woakes was injured by a blow to his hand when batting in the third Test defeat at Mohali on Tuesday.

Dawson was also selected for the Lions programme this winter before being released to play for Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League.

While Hameed is going home to have a metal plate inserted in his hand, Ansari will stay with the squad and continue to receive medical support in India before returning to England on 8 December.
