January 29 (Reuters) - The Indian cricket board (BCCI) announced on Monday that wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja would miss the second test match against England because of injury.
Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar have been called up by the BCCI to take their places.
"Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury during play on Day 4 of the first test in Hyderabad while Rahul complained of a right quadriceps pain," the BCCI stated in a statement.
Avesh Khan, a medium pacer who has played limited-overs cricket for India in the past, has also been included in the squad but has not been invited to join the national team right away.
"Avesh Khan will continue to travel with his Ranji Trophy team Madhya Pradesh and will join the test squad if required," said the BCCI.
On Friday, the second test is scheduled to start near Visakhapatnam. India lost the first test by 28 runs, and now trail the five-match series 1-0.
