Who is Anshul Kamboj? : Young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj has been included in the Indian team for the fourth Test match against England, which will be played from July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Anshul is just 24 years old and has been performing well in domestic cricket. He recently played two matches for the India A team against England Lions and took 5 wickets in those games. He plays for Haryana in Indian domestic cricket and has already taken 79 wickets in 24 first-class matches.
Because of his good bowling speed and accuracy, the selectors have given him a chance to join the main Indian team for this important Test match.
Arshdeep Singh Injured, Doubtful for 4th Test. Anshul Kamboj joins Squads
Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh got injured while practising in the nets on Thursday. During practice, Sai Sudharsan hit a straight shot, and Arshdeep tried to stop the ball with his hand. Unfortunately, the ball hit his bowling hand and caused a deep cut.
The injury was serious enough that stitches were needed. According to a BCCI source, Arshdeep may need 10 days to fully recover. Since the match is very soon, it’s unlikely he will be fit in time.
Indian team’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, “It’s just a cut, but we’ll have to see how serious it is. The medical team is checking everything.”
Rishabh Pant Also Got Injured, but is available for the 4th Test
India’s vice-captain Rishabh Pant also got hurt while trying to catch a fast ball from Jasprit Bumrah during the practice session at Lord’s. He injured the finger on his left hand, and now the team doctors are watching his condition closely.
The Indian team is hoping that both Pant and Arshdeep will recover soon. Meanwhile, Anshul Kamboj has a big chance to shine on the big stage!
