England opener Jason Roy is a doubtful starter for the 3rd One-Day International (ODI) against India. Ahead of the series decider at Headingley, Roy will undergo a fitness Test on a laceration to his finger he sustained while fielding during the second ODI at Lord’s. Meanwhile, the hosts have added James Vince and Sam Billings to the squad and one of them is likely to replace Roy if he fails to recover. IND vs ENG 3rd ODI 2018 Preview: India, England All Set for Series Finale.

Vince if picked in the playing XI will be playing his first ODI in nearly two years. The last time he represented England in ODIs was on tour of Bangladesh in 2016. Billings, on the other hand, made it to the playing XI in one of the ODIs against Australia last month. Though he was later dropped for the T20Is against Australia and India.

England are already without the service of opener Alex Hales who was out of the action following a side strain. Hales’ replacement Dawid Malan has also been released from the squad to play against India A in a four-day match against England Lions.  MS Dhoni Booed by Indian Spectators During India vs England 2nd ODI in London.
