Avesh Khan has been added to India’s squad for the second and final Test against South Africa, as a replacement for an injured Mohammed Shami, the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BBCI) announced on Friday.
“The Men’s Selection Committee has named Mr Avesh Khan as a replacement for Mr Mohd. Shami for the second Test against South Africa to be played from 3 rd-7 th January 2024 in Cape Town” the statement from BCCI read.
Dean Elgar and Kagiso Rabada teamed up to dismantle the Rohit Sharma-led Indian side in the first Test to clinch a mammoth win by an innings and 32 runs.
India suffered a further slip in morale as it was fined 10% of match fees and docked two World Test Championship points for maintaining a slow over-rate in Centurion. The men in blue are now sixth in the standings with 14 points while South Africa occupies the top spot.
