Jos Buttler has replaced wicketkeeper Matt Prior who stepped down from England's duty after the second Test defeats at Lords due to injury in the England squad for the Third Test against India.
23-year-old Buttler will make his Test debut having played 33 one-day matches and 20 games fro his country.
James Whitaker, National selector said:
"Jos Buttler comes into the squad following some very exciting limited-overs performances for England and a good record with Lancashire this season. Matt Prior has contributed a huge amount to the England side over the years and should be proud of his record throughout his 79 Tests. He has decided to take time out of the game to work on his fitness and we will continue to follow his progress over the coming months."Spinner Simon Kerrigan has been dropped from the squad for the Third test and there is no replacement with the selectors announcing a 13-man squad.
