Prasidh Krishna has been added to India's squad ahead of their fourth Test against England at The Oval. The right-arm quick, who was on the stand-by list and has been training with the team from the start of the tour, was roped in after a request from the team management to the selection committee.

As per a BCCI release, Prasidh Krishna has been included in India's Test squad ahead of the fourth Test, as an additional fast-bowling option.

"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," BCCI said in a release.

The five-match series is currently leveled at 1-1, with the fourth Test to be played at The Oval, beginning Thursday, September 2.
