Mark Wood has been recalled to the England side for the third Test against India in Rajkot as the tourists pick two seamers for the first time in the series.
The fast bowler replaces Shoaib Bashir – the only change from the 106-run loss in the second Test in Visakhapatnam.
Ben Stokes captains the side in what will be his 100th Test.
The series is level at 1-1 with England aiming for their first series win in India since 2012.
England XI to play third Test v India: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson.
“Taking a bit of knowledge from the last Test match we played here, albeit a long time ago, it was a pretty true, flat wicket,” Stokes said.
“Looking at it today, it looks a bit platey but I think it’s a good wicket.
“Bringing in an extra seamer this week is the option we’ve gone with because we think it’s going to give us the best chance of winning.”
Rehan Ahmed is named in the side after the resolution of an issue with his visa that arose as England returned to India from a break in Abu Dhabi.
The 19-year-old joins Lancashire left-armer Tom Hartley as one of two frontline spin options for the tourists.
James Anderson retains his place and needs just five more wickets for 700 in Tests.
