Ever since the India vs England Test series started, many good and bad records have been made in it. Meanwhile, England all -rounder Liam Dawson has returned to England’s Test team after a long time, but at the same time a unique record has also been added to his name. Actually Dawson’s name has been added to those players who have returned the most Test matches. Liam Dawson has returned to the team after missing 102 Test matches for England.

Liam Dawson made his Test debut while playing against India in December 2016. A few months later, he was seen playing in the Test series against South Africa. After that series, Dawson was dropped from the England team. Perhaps the Dawson himself would not even know that he will have to wait 8 years long to return.
