According to the Indian Express, the pants are advised to have six weeks of rest and will recall the final test at the Oval starting from 31 July. Ishaan Kishan is expected to join the squad in his place.

Ravindra Jadeja dismissed the overnight score after adding only one run
India suffered an initial setback on 2 on the day of the fourth Test as Ravindra Jadeja was rejected for 20. The all-rounder was removed by Joffra Archer in the 85th over. Jadeja inspired the ball for a second slip, where Harry Brook completed a low diving catch.
Slip fielders moved a little further after some of the earlier edges of Jadeja and Shardul Thakur. Jadeja’s departure also left India for 266, which ended the hopes of a big innings from the in-form batsman.
At the time of writing, India was 306/5 at the crease with Sharadul Thakur and Washington Sundar. They are the final recognized batting pair for visitors. Ben Stokes became England’s most successful bowler so far, taking two wickets.
