India suffered another loss as Akash Deep was ruled out of the fourth Test against England. Due to a groin injury, the pacer will miss the fourth match of the series. On the eve of the must-win game at Old Trafford on July 23, Indian skipper Shubman Gill stated that the pacer will miss it.
Anshul Kamboj may debut
Anshul Kamboj could make his international debut on Wednesday since India are without Nitish Kumar Reddy and Arshdeep Singh. The Indian management may also consider Prasidh Krishna. Making an optimum team combination with Nitish Kumar Reddy’s injury leaves a spot for Shardul Thakur.
Shubman Gill says Akash Deep hurt.
Having injuries in the team is never easy. Nitish, Akash, and Arshdeep will miss the series rematch. But I think we have enough talented players to first get 20 wickets. That’s the series’ hardest section. Gill told the news conference that the weather should make for a good game.
Rishabh Pant to play
Vice-captain Rishabh Pant will play as a wicketkeeper-batter in Manchester, according to skipper Gill. Dhruv Jurel kept wickets for the rest of the game when Pant’s finger was injured in the Lord’s match. Jurel may leave England without playing after returning to the gloves.
Indian 4th Test squad: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Sai Sudharsan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, An
