The Indian bowling unit had a difficult day on the 3rd day of the test match in Manchester. The Indian Pacers were made by an ineffective set of English tabs who played a total of 544 runs for losing 7 goals. Like Jasprit Bumhrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and debutant Anshul Cartej had a terrible time because England provided the leadership of 186 runs to the last two days of the game.
It should be emphasized that India did not have a bowling set of the first selection with Akash Deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy. India Bowling Coach Morne Morkel was asked to injure sailors and why a quick bowling unit has recently been injured.

In the last few months, several Indian Pacers have entered the Center of Excellence BCCI for rehabilitation and those who are FIT (Bumhrah and Siraj) are also on the verge of burnout.
IPL for the crisis of India’s injury?
The Indian bowling coach showed a rapid turnover between the Indian Premier League 2025 and the 5-match test series against England and said it was difficult to play a 5-match test series as soon as IPL was completed.
The Indian team played the opening test match of the England series (June 20), only two weeks after the IPL completion (June 3). When things stand during the 4th test match, the versatile Nish Reddy was expelled from the series. Questions remain on Pacers Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh, who were excluded from the 4th test.
“It’s a real test. We played a lot of test series of two or three matches, and that’s the first time we got into a series of five matches. It shouldn’t be an excuse, but in terms of fitness, but in the preparation of five IPL tests, there may sometimes be a problem.” Morne Morkel said after 3.
“You have to find the right balance between giving players enough time to recover and maintain their bowling costs. Therefore, it is important that we look into the future and build a fixed core of five or six pitchers that we can turn.
Morkel added that India needs to work this hard phase. After the England series, India has a domestic series against West India and South Africa. Morkel closed the fact that the Indian team needed to create a pace of battery that knew how to deal with a 5-match test series.
“There aren’t much experience with the ball right now. We have Siraj. Bumhrah played a handful of tests, and then there’s Avesh that has been played a little but is currently injured. Closed.
