IND Vs ENG: Anshul Kamboj joins the Indian team for the last 2 matches, will the fourth Test replace Bumrah?

Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj has been included in the Indian squad for the remaining 2 Tests against England. Arshdeep Singh is out of the fourth Test due to a finger injury. The fourth Test will be played at Old Trafford from July 23, which is ‘do or die’ for Team India. So will Anshul Jaspreet play the fourth Test in place of Bumrah?

BCCI sources told Indian Express, “Arshdeep Singh has a deep cut on his hand, after which it will take at least 10 days to fit them completely, the selectors have decided to include Anshul Kamboj in the team.”

Will Anshul Kamboj play the fourth Test in place of Jaspreet Bumrah?

In the 5 -match Test series, Jasprit Bumrah will play only 3 Tests, out of which he has played and now one of 2 will play Test. Earlier it was decided that he would play the fifth Test, not the fourth Test, although it is a ‘do or die’ match, then Bumrah can also change his decision. But if he does not play in Manchester, then it is possible that Anshul Kamboj gets a chance to debut. Actually, the famous Krishna proved to be very expensive in the first 2 Tests, so his return looks a bit difficult.

Anshul Kamboj was in England last month, where he played 2 first class matches against England Lions while playing for India A. In these matches, he took a total of 5 wickets and scored a total of 76 runs including 1 half -century innings (51).
