The fourth Test of the five -match series between India and England will be played from 23 to 27 July at Old Trafford, Manchester. Like the previous match, this match is also expected to be exciting. The Indian team is facing the problem of injury of at least four players, while the England team also has concerns about the fitness of some players.
England spinner Shoaib Bashir suffered an injury to his non-bowling hand finger at Lord’s on the third day of the third Indo-England Test, which led to the last two matches. In his absence, Liam Dawson has been included in the 14 -member team of England. The 35 -year -old player is in the race to play his first Test for England after July 2017.
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, there is a possibility that the fourth Test will be missed in Manchester. The 26 -year -old cricketer hurt his bowling hand during a training session in Bekenham on Thursday. He has a deep cut in his hand and stitches.
Akash Deep was India’s best bowler in the second Test where he took a total of 10 wickets. But this cricketer from Bihar is less likely to play in the fourth Test due to Grin injury. According to reports, Akash Deep has suffered an injury to the groin.
Rishabh Pant is India’s first choice wicketkeeper-batsman in Test cricket. The left-handed batsman suffered a finger injury on the first day of the Lord’s Test. He did not do wicketkeeping after 34 overs in the first innings. There is no official update about his finger injury, and his fourth Test is less likely to play as a wicketkeeper.
