Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav called-up as injury replacements

Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw had been called up to the squad as injury replacements. India suffered three injuries ahead of the series. Shubman Gill was ruled out of the entire series with an aggravated knee injury while Washington Sundar and Avesh Khan copped blows while playing for Select County XI in the warm-up game to be ruled out of the entire series.

They were in Sri Lanka with the limited-overs squad when Prithvi and Suryakumar were named in the squad. They started on August 3, and upon landing served a mandatory 10-day quarantine, before joining the squad.

While this is Suryakumar Yadav's maiden Test call-up, Prithvi Shaw has already represented India in five Tests. He has accumulated 339 runs at an average of 42.39, including a century and two fifties. However, Prithvi was dropped owing to poor form midway through the Australian tour last year.
