India opening batsman Shubman Gill won't be fielding on the fourth day of second Test against England, the Indian cricket board said on Tuesday. Gill, 21, sustained a blow to his left forearm while fielding on Day 3 and has been taken for a precautionary scan.
"Shubman Gill sustained a blow on his left forearm while fielding on Day 3 of the 2nd Test. He has been taken for a precautionary scan. The BCCI Medical Team is assessing him. He won't be fielding yesterday," said the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) in a tweet.
Gill took the blow while fielding at short leg in the penultimate over the third day's play bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin. Dan Lawrence chose to sweep the last ball of the over and Gill took evasive action. The ball ended up hitting him on the left forearm.
Mayank Agarwal has taken the field on the fourth day in Gill's place.
