In a setback for the Indian cricket team, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul have been ruled out of the second IDFC First Bank Test against England in Vizag, scheduled to begin on February 2, 2024. Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury during the fourth day of the first Test in Hyderabad, while Rahul complained of right quadriceps pain.

The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring the progress of both players. To fill the void, the Men's Selection Committee has made additions to India's squad, bringing in Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar.

In a parallel adjustment, Saransh Jain has been named as a replacement for Washington Sundar in the India A squad for the third and final multi-day game against England Lions, set to commence on February 1, 2024, in Ahmedabad.

Avesh Khan, while continuing to travel with his Ranji Trophy team, Madhya Pradesh, has been designated as a reserve and will join the Test squad if required. The injuries to key players pose a challenge for India as they aim to bounce back in the series against England.

India's updated Squad for 2nd Test vs England: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Avesh Khan, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Sourabh Kumar.
