India's premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and batsman Rohit Sharma have been ruled out of the second Test starting here on Friday, dealing a double blow to the visitors at a time when opener Prithvi Shaw is yet to recover from an ankle injury.



Perth, Dec 13 (PTI) India's premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and batsman Rohit Sharma have been ruled out of the second Test starting here on Friday, dealing a double blow to the visitors at a time when opener Prithvi Shaw is yet to recover from an ankle injury.

With the trio unavailable for selection, India included Hanuma Vihari, Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a 13-man squad announced on eve of the second Test. 

While Shaw injured his ankle while fielding in the sole warmup game before the series opener, Ashwin suffered an abdominal strain and Rohit hurt his back during the first Test which India won by 31 runs.

"Prithvi Shaw is recovering well from his left ankle injury but still undergoing treatment. R Ashwin has a left-sided abdominal strain. He is receiving treatment at the moment. Rohit Sharma jarred his lower back while fielding in the 1st Test at Adelaide. He is undergoing treatment. He too is ruled out of the second Test," read a statement from the BCCI.

"The team management is closely monitoring these players and a call on their availability for the third Test will be taken at an appropriate time," it added.

Ashwin's unavailability is a big loss as he had taken a six-wicket haul at Adelaide to help India record their first win in a series opener in Australia.

Rohit, who made a Test comeback at the Adelaide Oval, was expected to retain his place in the eleven after scores of 37 and 1.

India's 13-man squad: Virat Kohli (captain), M Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav. PTI

Kolkata, Nov 20: The fate of the first test hanged in balance as India were battling at 251 for loss of 5 wickets at lunch on the final day  of the five-day Test play match against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens here  today.
Skipper Virat Kohli was batting at 41 and Ravichandran Ashwin yet to  open his account.  India were leading by 129 runs with five wickets in hand and Sri Lanka will have their second knock.  India resumed their second innings at 171/1 with overnight not out batsmen opener Lokesh Rahul (79) and first down Cheteswar Pujara (2) in the sunny morning.  Lokesh Rahul was first to go at 79 when an in-swinger from strike bowler Suranga Lakmal disrupted his wickets. Rahul added only six runs to his overnight score. Chetester Pujara, who contributed 52 runs in the first knock to India's total score of 172, was next to return to pavilion at 22. Right handed pacer Lakmal was again on the hunt after Dilruwan Perera held the catch as India were on 213/3. Ajinkya Rahane (0) once again failed to live up to the expectation of his calibre and was held leg before wicket at duck 0 after facing 4 balls.  Rahane, who scored 4 runs in first innings, was out from 30-year-old Lakmal's deceptive delivery. The ball came in with the angle, but there was not anything magical that a player of Rahane's calibre could not have handled.  Rahane called for review after having consulted with non-striking end Virat Kohli. But Rahane had to leave the pitch after third umpire on camera Anil Chaudhari held field umpire Joel Wilson right.  Before lunch Ravindra Jadeja was out cheaply on 9 after facing 41 balls with a second slip catch to Lahiru Thirimanne off Dilruwan Perera's delivery.  Suranga Lakmal took three of the four wickets in the first session today conceding 50 runs.  UNI

COLOMBO, Aug 5 : A rampant India subjected Sri Lanka to the ignominy of follow-on today after Ravichandran Ashwin claimed his 26th five-wicket haul to help rout the hosts for 183 in the second test.
Ashwin (5-69) and spin partner Ravindra Jadeja shared seven wickets as Sri Lanka, resuming on 50-2, collapsed on a day three pitch that allowed for prodigious spin, with the ball often kicking up puffs of dust.
Niroshan Dickwella topscored with a desperate 51 as Sri Lanka lost their remaining eight wickets in an extended morning session to find themselves staring at a 439-run first-innings deficit and series loss with a match to spare.
India captain Virat Kohli, who led his team to a crushing 304-run win in the first of the three tests, understandably began the day with spin and was almost rewarded with immediate success.
Kusal Mendis guided Jadeja's fifth delivery tantalisingly close to Cheteshwar Pujara but the fielder was standing too close to grab the ball as it flew past him.
Kohli's field placement was right to a tee in Jadeja's third over when avid sweeper Dinesh Chandimal sent the spinner straight to Hardik Pandya, who had been stationed at square leg for exactly that shot.
Sri Lanka had wanted something special from their skipper but Chandimal, who missed the Galle series opener with pneumonia, had managed only 10.
Jadeja was denied a second success in that over when Kohli, replacing Pujara at gully, dropped Angelo Mathews with the former Sri Lanka skipper having yet to score.
Kohli soon made amends, running backwards to take a brilliant catch to send back Mendis, who had made 24 before Umesh Yadav induced the leading edge.
Mathews decided to hit his way out of the trouble and clobbered a couple of sixes off Jadeja but the ploy did not work for long.
With a breezy 26 on the board, he flicked at an Ashwin delivery and Pujara took a spectacular left-handed catch at leg gully.
Jadeja dismissed Dhananjaya de Silva for a golden duck and Mohammed Shami came up with a two-wicket over to leave the Sri Lankan innings in tatters.
Realising the futility of trying to hang around, Dickwella threw his bat at everything, hitting seven boundaries and a six before attempting an ugly scoop against Shami that deflected the ball onto his stumps.
Nuwan Pradeep came out to bat despite a hamstring injury which will rule him out of the remainder of the series and he faced six balls before falling for a duck to end the innings.REUTERS
