Cricket: Agarwal ruled out of England Test after head injury

India opener Mayank Agarwal will miss the first Test against England after showing signs of a concussion, AFP reported.

Agarwal was hit on the helmet while batting during India’s nets session at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Monday.

The BCCI Medical Team assessed the 30-year-old and concussion test was conducted, AFP reported.

It was reported that Agarwal’s India team-mate Mohammed Siraj was the bowler when he was hit.

The first of five Tests between England and India starts in Nottingham on Aug. 4, with KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran in contention to replace Agarwal in the openers’ slot.
