India's cricket team has been dealt a setback as pacer Harshit Rana and spinner Varun Chakaravarthy were ruled out of the final two T20Is against England due to hamstring injuries sustained during the third match at Trent Bridge. The BCCI confirmed their exclusion after medical assessments. Washington Sundar and Prasidh Krishna have been named as their replacements for the fourth T20I in Bristol.
