New Delhi: Senior selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has selected Prithvi Shaw and Hanuma Vihari for the remaining two Tests against England on Wednesday. The BCCI released a statement giving information about this. While the earth was chosen in the team instead of Murali Vijay, Hanuman has been selected in the team instead of Chinnaman Kuldeep Yadav.
