New Delhi: Seasoned batsman Suresh Raina was on Saturday named as a replacement for Ambati Rayudu in the One-Day International squad against England after the Hyderabadi batsman failed to clear the mandatory fitness test.

The 32-year-old Rayudu's score was on Friday found to be well below the threshold mark of 16.1. Rayudu, whose last international appearance was in an ODI against Zimbabwe in June 2016, was named in the India squad for the ODIs against England after a successful outing in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL).

The yo-yo test has become a criterion for fitness standards in Indian cricket determining selection. India's tour of England begins on July 3 with the limited-overs leg of three T20Is and three ODIs.
