Big Blow for Team India, star player ruled out of IND vs ENG 4th Test due to…, his name is…
New Delhi: Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh may be out of the fourth Test against England. During the training session on Thursday, Arshdeep suffered a cut on his bowling hand while trying to stop Sai Sudarshan’s shot. Due to this injury, he has to get stitches, and now it seems unlikely that he will be able to play in the Manchester Test.
Important information from the medical update
A source told the Indian Express that Arshdeep has stitches on his hand and his chances of playing in the fourth Test are very low. Now the Indian team will see whether he is able to get fit for the fifth Test or not. Arshdeep has not yet got a chance to make his Test debut, but he was being considered an option in case of rotating the fast bowlers.
Akash Deep’s fitness also became a concern
During England’s innings on the fourth day of the Lord’s Test, Akash Deep felt uncomfortable in the 28th over and left the field and went to the dressing room. He was seen in pain holding his waist. After this he returned to the field but did not bowl. Apart from this, he did not bowl in the nets session before leaving for Manchester, due to which there are doubts about his fitness.
The coach and medical team keep an eye on the players
Team India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed that Arshdeep has a cut on his hand and the medical team immediately sent him to the doctor. He said that it has to be seen whether stitches are put or not, as this may affect the plan for the next few days.
Rishabh Pant’s injury increased trouble
Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is already injured. On the first day of the Lord’s Test, he injured his left index finger while catching a ball from Jasprit Bumrah. After this, he could not do wicketkeeping in the entire match. This is another big setback for the Indian team.
When and where will the next match be
The fourth Test between India and England will start from July 23 at the Old Trafford ground in Manchester. In such a situation, the Indian team may have to make serious changes in its bowling unit due to injury and fitness.
