Shaw and Yadav were called up for the tour after Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Avesh Khan were ruled out of the series due to injury.

As per initial plans, they were supposed to leave Colombo soon after the India-Sri Lanka series got over, but their trip got delayed by a few days as they were identified as 'close contacts' of Krunal Pandya - who tested positive for COVID-19 last week.

India begins its campaign against England on Wednesday at Nottingham.
