England selectors on Tuesday brought in wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow and pacer Mark Wood to its squad for the day/night Test against India, starting in Ahmedabad on Febriary 24.
The selectors also decided to send all-rounder Moeen Ali, who played in the second game, back to England as part of their rotation policy to manage workload of the players.
Bairstow was given a rest after the two-Test series against Sri Lanka, where he had scores of 47, 35 not out, 28 and 29.
Wood was also given a break after the series in the island nation where he went wicket-less in the first Test and took three wickets in the second.
