India dough Ajinkya Rahane appointed an ideal replacement for a fast pitch Jasprit Bumrah for the fourth test against England if the match did not play. The participation of Bumrah is not sure because the team leadership is not decided on its inclusion in the XI playing.
Speedster is set to play three test matches in the ongoing series, as the head coach Gautam Gambhir revealed before the tour. With two matches that have already played Bumrah, His participation in the fourth test remains doubtful.
Ajinkya Rahane recently said that the management should play in its place Arshdeep Singha if Bumrah does not play the fourth test because it can turn the ball in both ways and provide a different angle.
“I think yes, yes. If Bumhrah doesn’t play, Arshdeep is the guy. Because in England you need a left shoulder sailor that can turn the ball in both ways, and with another angle, can create this rough for spinners.
Arshdeep still has to make their debut and played 21 first -class matches In his career so far, scalp 66 goals. However, the left arm sailor also injured himself during the training session in Beckenham before the fourth test. The Indian assistant coach Ryan Ten Jicé shared an update to arshdeep’s injury, revealing that the cut was cut when trying to stop the ball.
“He took the ball when he was bowling – he tried to stop it – and it’s just a cut. We have to see how bad the cut is. The medical team took it to visit the doctor, and of course, whether he needs stitches or not, will be important for our planning in the next few days,” said ten Dodchat.
Meanwhile, India is in the series 1-2 for the series in the situation Do-or-Die, because another loss in the fourth test would lead to a loss of series. Therefore, the team leadership must take several harsh decisions to stand on their best XI playing to be a series alive. The fourth test begins on July 23 in Old Trafford, Manchester, which provides players with a good eight -day rest between matches.
