Xtra Time Web Desk: Prasidh Krishna has been added to India’s squad for the fourth Test against England at Oval starting from Thursday. The 25-year-old, who made his ODI debut against England in March, was on the standby list alongside Arzan Nagwaswalla.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee – based on the request of the team management – has added fast bowler Prasidh Krishna to India’s squad for the fourth Test,” said BCCI in a statement on Wednesday.

Krishna has been training and travelling with Team India right from the start of the tour. The reason the Karnataka pacer has been added to the main squad is to monitor workload management for the fast bowlers. Both Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah has bowled 100 overs each so far in the first three tests.

The 25-year-old has played only nine first-class games with 34 wickets in his kitty.

The upcoming Test will be played at The Oval, London from September 2.
