Anshul Kamboj Close to Debuting as Shubman Gill Confirms Akash Deep’s Spot for Manchester Test

On the day of the Test match, the Indian team management will make a decision between Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj, who is "very close" to his debut in the Manchester game against England, and Prasidh Krishna. Due to an injury, Akash Deep will miss the forthcoming fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, according to India captain Shubman Gill on Tuesday.
Following his injury during a practice session prior to the next match, Arshdeep Singh has already been declared ineligible for the Manchester Test. When bowling in the nets during a training session in Beckenham, the left-arm pacer suffered an impact injury to his left thumb. His progress is being tracked by the BCCI Medical Team.
Additionally, Nitish Kumar Reddy has been disqualified from the rest of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy due to a left knee ailment.
When there are a few injuries in the team, it's never simple. The series will be without Nitish Kumar Reddy. Arshdeep is also not available for the upcoming game, and neither is Akash Deep, but we have enough talented players on the squad to take 20 wickets. The hardest thing about the program has been that. "Having different bowlers is not ideal, but I was prepared," Gill told reporters the day before the Test.
"We've seen enough of Anshul." He possesses the precise set of abilities that we seek. We think he has the ability to lead us to victory. We have faith in our team. Anyone who enters the starting lineup, we believe, can win us the game. Anshul Kamboj is about to make his debut. "Between Prasidh and Anshul, we'll see tomorrow," he continued.
Rishabh Pant will wear the wicketkeeping gloves for India, according to Shubman Gill as well. While attempting to collect a Jasprit Bumrah delivery at the Lord's Test, the vice captain of India took a hit to the hand.
As Dhruv Jurel replaced Pant, he no longer wore the gloves throughout the remainder of the Test. However, Pant smashed and even scored 74 runs during the opening session. The second innings saw Jofra Archer, however, give him problems by continuing to bowl yorkers, which caused the 27-year-old to jam his bat down.
"Pant will keep wickets," said Gill.
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is led by England
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is now held by England. Following their 22-run victory over India in the Lord's Test, the hosts took a 2-1 lead. Karun Nair is also a major topic of discussion because of his underwhelming performance in the first three games.
But the senior batsman, who had been back in the Test playing XI for eight years, was supported by Shubman Gill. Karun will probably keep his spot in the lineup, based on the remarks made by the Indian captain.
We've talked to him, and we're hoping he'll turn things around after he didn't bat at his number in the first game. It's challenging for a player to bounce back in a sequence like this one. His hitting is not a problem, in my opinion, according to Gill.
Sai Sudharsan batted at No. 3 in the Headingley Test, while Karun Nair batted at No. 6. It should be noted that Karun was moved up the batting order as a result of Sai being dropped for the following two games in Edgbaston and Lord's.
In his six innings, Karun Nair has scored 0, 20, 31, 26, 40, and 14 for a total of 131 runs.
