India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set to play the crucial fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. With India trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, the upcoming match is a must-win. Akash Deep, who starred at Edgbaston, is nursing a recurring back issue and may sit out. Arshdeep Singh also sustained a hand injury during nets, prompting selectors to call up Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj as cover. Team sources confirm Bumrah will play only three Tests this series, meaning if he features in Manchester, he’ll miss the Oval Test. Akash may replace him there. India’s bowling lineup faces uncertainty, but Bumrah’s inclusion signals an aggressive push to level the series. (PC: Al Jazeera)
