The fourth Test match between India and England will be played in Manchester from 23 July. But before that India may get a double shock. Actually, the fourth Test may lead to the left -handed swing bowler Arshdeep Singh.
At the same time, 26-year-old Arshdeep Singh suffered an injury to his bowling hand while stopping Sai Sudarshan’s ball during a training net session on Thursday. He has legs on his hand and now he is less likely to play. There is also suspense on the availability of Akashdeep as he also has a problem in the groin.
Akashdeep did not bowl in a net session organized by the Indian team before leaving Manchester. The source from The Indian Express said that, he has stitches in his hand and may not be available for the fourth Test match. The Indian team will see if they are ready for the fifth Test or not. At present, Arshdeep has not yet got a place in the Test team, but if the team management decides to relax a fast bowler, he could have made a debut.
At the same time, India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doshet said that, Arshadeep bowled there, Sai hit a ball and he tried to stop him and his hand was cut. So we have to see how serious the cut is. Obviously the medical team has taken him to the doctor. Whether they get stitches or not, it will be important for our plan of the next few days.
In the 28th over of England’s innings on the fourth day of the third Test at Lord’s, Akashdeep went into dressing after feeling a problem. Physio of the team was with him. The fast bowler held his waist and looked in trouble. The 28 -year -old or bowler has been injured before. Due to this, he was out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024 and the 2025 IPL season.
