Team India is currently on the England Tour for the five-match test series. After 3 matches of the series, Team India is currently behind 1-2 against England. The Fourth and next test match will be played at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, on July 23. This will be a do-or-die game for Shubman Gill & Co. If India loses the next one, the series will also go towards England. But before the match, the Indian Team is facing some players' injuries.
Ahead of the Emirates Old Trafford Clash between the two nations, the Indian squad is also battling some injury concerns. It's still uncertain whether Akash Deep and Rishabh Pant will be available for the upcoming cricket matches, aside from the injury concerns with Nitish Reddy and Arshdeep Singh. Akash Deep is battling a developing niggle, and keeper batsman Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to his index finger during the Lord's Test.
Indian Team has added a new sensational “Anshul Kamboj” to the squad as a cover. He plays domestic cricket for Haryana. He took 79 wickets in 24 first-class matches, 40 wickets in 25 List A matches, and 34 wickets in 30 T20 matches. He has also played for Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in his IPL career so far. In 2024, when he was playing for Mumbai Indians, he took 2 wickets in 3 matches while In 2025, for CSK, He took 8 wickets in 8 matches.
Recently, he played for India A against England Lions for 2 test two-test-match series. In this series, he took 5 wickets in 3 innings of 2 matches. While he scored 76 runs, including a fifty.
He was the leading wicket taker in that series with Chris Woakes and George Hill.
After Nitish Kumar Reddy’s injury, Team India is looking for a pace-bowling all-rounder, which Kamboj can fill. Along with serving as the Indian team's fourth seaming bowling option, he can bat at eight or nine in the Playing XI. It will be very interesting to watch will Indian Team Management gives him a chance in the fourth test match’s playing XI or not.
