Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni ruled pacer Ishant Sharma out of the fourth Test, starting at Old Trafford on August 7.
"Definitely he won't be fit for the next game," Dhoni said during the post-match presentation at the Ageas Bowl. "We never really had a discussion with our physio, but, as of now, he won't be available for the fourth Test match,” added Dhoni.
Ishant had taken seven wickets at the Lord’s Test last week guiding India to a thumping 95-run win.
Meanwhile, England announced an unchanged 13-man squad for the fourth Test.
