England brought goalkeeper Jonny Bairstow and pacemaker Mark Wood to their team on Tuesday for the day / night test against India, which begins on February 24 in Ahmedabad.
England lost the second round here on Tuesday by 317 runs while India tied in the four-game series.
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 the players’ workload.
Bairstow was given 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 post-series break in the island nation where he went groundless in the first Test and took three wickets in the second.
“Moeen Ali will return to England for a break, while Jonny Bairstow and Mark Wood will join the team after having rested during the first two rounds,” the Cricket Council for England and Wales (ECB) said in a statement.

Joe Root (C), James Anderson, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Zak Crawley, Ben Foakes, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Dom Sibley, Ben Stokes, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes , Mark Wood.
