The Fourth Test between India and इंगलैंड is all set to happen from 23 July at Old Trafford in Manchester and after the up close loss at the Lord’s, the question of the series hangs tight – Will Jasprit Bumrah be in the squad?

As the Manchester game nears, the Indian squad is facing a severe setback with two of their crucial players having injuries. Rishabh Pant and Akash Deep’s injury was revealed right after the Lord’s Test while now the count has increased to four as Akshdeep Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy are also facing injury scares.
Rishabh Pant was closely monitored after his massive accident and he was in the squad as a pure batsman for the third test. Dhruv Jurel replaced Pant with the gloves behind the stumps and this makes his position questionable for the fourth test.
Akashdeep is currently nursing his groin injury after showcasing incredible bowling at Edgbaston and a struggling performance at the Lord’s. Reports suggest that he is still struggling from his groin issue. Now his recovery will be focused as Bumrah might also sit down for the Old Trafford.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is ruled out of the fourth test after he sustained an impact injury to his left thumb during a training session at Beckenham. Thus India has now roped in Medium Pacer Anshul Kamboj from ‘India A’ as an injury cover.
AK to India 🇮🇳
