What is the grammatical form and function of "having"?
Is "having...injury" a participial phrase functioning adverbially?
Thanks

Having missed the Bangalore Test with another injury , opener Murali Vijay will slot back for his 50th Test, putting Abhinav Mukund back on the bench. “Having” is a gerund-participle verb. Its function is that of "head" of the underlined gerund-participial non-finite clause which functions as a reason adjunct.
