Harmison Pulls Out of First Test
Cricket: Chris Tremlett has been called into the England squad after Steve Harmison was ruled out with a hernia injury.
Steve Harmison has been ruled out of this week's first Test against India at Lord's with a recurrence of a hernia injury. The Durham fast bowler will see a specialist tomorrow to determine whether he needs surgery
Harmison is replaced in England's 13-man squad by Hampshire seamer Chris Tremlett. Chairman of selectors David Graveney said: "We have taken the precaution of adding Chris Tremlett to the squad following confirmation this morning that Stephen Harmison will not be available. Chris performed well in the recent England Lions tour match against India and his inclusion will give us additional options when we come to decide on our starting eleven for Thursday."
Stuart Broad, who took five for 76 against India for the England Lions at Chelmsford yesterday, will compete with Lancashire paceman James Anderson for inclusion in the England team for the match starting on Thursday.
