The Indian team was added to the Indian group for the fifth and last test against England, which was expelled after maintaining a broken metatarsal, replacing the injured Rishabh’s pants, which was expelled after Rishabh Pant injury, which was excluded after injured Rishabh’s pants, which was excluded after the suffering of the broken metatarsal. Pant lifted injuries and tried to turn Chris Woakes on the day of the fourth test at Old Trafford, Manchester.
India has suffered a significant failure heading to the Referee series, which begins 31. July in an oval in London. Pant’s scanning confirmed a fracture on his right leg, which made him unavailable for the rest of the tour. The BCCI medical team will continue to monitor its recovery. “The team wishes him a speedy recovery,” the board said in its statement.
ENG VS India. Test day 5 Updates
Jagadeesan, 28, received his first test challenge on the back of consistent performances in the domestic cricket and brings a large number of first -class experience. Its integration gives India the second specialized Wicketkeeker in the group together with Dhruv Jurel, while Kl Rahul does not follow the gates due to continued fitness concerns.
Indian Updated Group for Fifth Test: Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kl Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwan, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shadul Thakur, Jaspit Bumrah Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Cartear, Arshdeep Singh, Narayan Jagadeesan (WK).
Jagadeesan scored 3,373 runs from 52 first -class matches, of which 10 centuries and 14 half -lives, on average 47.50. Replaces Rishabh Pant, the third highest Indian runner in the ongoing series with 479 runs on average 68.42, including two centuries and the three fifties.
Pant’s absence leaves a significant emptiness because India puts a series of World Championships in testing five matches with a victory in the oval.
After lost the initial test for Trent Bridge, India equalized the series in Edgbaston. England regained the lead by Lord’s close victory, while the fourth test in Old Trafford ended with a well contained draw. Victory in the oval would help India draw a series while England will try to seal 3-1.
Pant’s absence will undoubtedly be felt – especially in English conditions, when his style of counterattack in the past proved to be invaluable. When India tries to close a series at a high level, all eyes will be on a new -line team that will be supplied in an oval crisis test.
