England all-rounder Emma Lamb has been withdrawn due to a back problem. Lamb will return to the UK, where she will see a spinal surgeon to determine her future course of action.

Middle-order batter Maia Bouchier and left-arm spinner Kirstie Gordon have been added to the Test side. Bouchier hasn't played any Test cricket, but has featured in three ODIs and 22 T20Is for her side. On the other hand, Gordon has a solitary Test to her name, which came against Australia in Taunton. Gordon was a part of the England 'A' side that won their three-game T20I series, 2-1, against India recently.

She remains in Mumbai to link up with Heather Knight's team.
