Harish Kotian/Rediff.com reports: India's injury woes continued as batting mainstay Ajinkya Rahane was ruled out of the fourth Test against England starting in Mumbai on Thursday with injury.

He will be replaced by Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey.

Apparently, Rahane sustained a finger injury during India's training session at the Wankhede stadium on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, there are also doubts over Mohammed Shami playing in the Mumbai Test after captain Virat Kohli had suggested he is struggling with a sore knee.

The selectors have called in Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur as a back up for Shami.

Earlier in the day, Kohli had confirmed that KL Rahul had recovered from his injury and would start as the opener in the fourth Test.
