Young opener Haseeb Hameed’s tour is over as the youngster, who sustained a fractured hand during the first innings of the Mohali Test, is going back home.

Injured Hameed came out to bat today and showed his steely temperament with a gritty 59, which forced India to chase a target of 103 runs.

Skipper Alastair Cook said after England lost the third Test,

“
He has got a broken hand, needs a plate within to fix it. Yes, it’s obviously unlucky for a youngster, who impressed us all with his technique and talent and obviously now when he’s playing for England, he will do anything to get out there.

”

England are set to replace Haseeb Hameed with Durham opener Keaton Jennings for India series.
