Sibley, Crowley dropped, England recalled Dawid Malan

The England Cricket Board (ECB) has dropped Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley after Lord's show against India from England’s 15-man squad for the third Test match against India at Headingly, starting next week. England men’s head coach, Chris Silverwood, said: “The Test series is beautifully poised, and we are relishing the prospect of aiming to bounce back at Headingley.

Southpaw Dawid Malan has been added to the Test squad for the first time in three years. He last played Test cricket in August 2018 in England’s victory over India at Edgbaston.“Dawid Malan deserves his opportunity in the Test arena. He has a lot of experience across all formats and, if called upon, I am confident that he can come and do well on his home ground. In the limited time he has played first-class cricket this season, he has shown what he is capable of, scoring a highly accomplished 199 for Yorkshire against Sussex at Headingley in June,” said silverhood.

Seamer Saqib Mahmood is included after impressing in all formats. He has yet to make his Test debut but will be aiming to add to his England credentials, having already been capped by the senior side in ODIs and T20Is. “Saqib Mahmood, who has been brilliant across all formats this summer. He is confident, highly-skilled and will not be overawed if he is to make his Test debut. His temperament and attitude are suited to the international arena,” said Engalnd’s coach.
