Middle-order batsman Ollie Pope was on Wednesday added to England`s squad for the much-anticipated Test series opener against India even as young opener Zak Crawley sustained a freak wrist injury and missed the practice sessions here. The 23-year-old Pope had suffered a dislocated shoulder while fielding in the final Test of the English summer against Pakistan last August which subsequently required surgery.
It was the second time he had suffered a dislocation to the shoulder. Pope took part in the team`s training sessions here over the past two days after the end of the quarantine period. Pope, who has been undergoing rehabilitation, travelled with the England team during its recent tour of Sri Lanka though he was not part of the squad. It helped him continue his rehabilitation with England`s support staff and get acclimatise to conditions in the sub-continent.
