HYDERABAD: Uncapped England spinner Shoaib Bashir has been ruled out of the opening test against India following a visa delay, according to media reports on Wednesday.
Bashir, who is of Pakistani heritage, travelled with the squad to Abu Dhabi where England trained before the team arrived in India for the five-test series beginning in Hyderabad on Thursday.
Uncapped Somerset spinner Bashir, however, has returned home to sort out his visa issues, according to the reports. (Reuters)
