Reportedly, Harshit Rana, a pacer, was let go from the team the day after India's defeat to England in the first Test of the five-match series. The Times of India stated that Harshit Rana did not accompany the rest of the team when they departed for Birmingham, where the second Test will take place, on Wednesday. The Indian team left Leeds by bus at approximately 11:30 a.m. local time.

Just a few days prior to the start of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, Rana was included to the main team. He belonged to India. A team that played two first-class games against England Lions and was invited to remain behind with the main team as a backup pacer.

The day after head coach Gautam Gambhir made a suggestion about Rana's departure from the team, this occurred. ";I will speak to the chairman of selectors since there was a bit of a niggle in the group; I haven't spoken to the chairman selector. That is why we wanted him as a backup," Gambhir stated about Rana after India's loss in the opening Test. But if everyone is alright, he will have to fly back since everything seems OK right now, Gambhir said.

Rana was chosen above Prasidh Krishna for the beginning of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after making his Australian debut. He also played well in the first innings, taking three wickets, but India sought alternative solutions because he was unable to sustain the same degree of consistency in the second innings and in the next Test.

With the exception of Jasprit Bumrah, who took five wickets in England's first innings, the other bowlers didn't seem threatening as the home side easily chased down a target of 371 on Tuesday, the fifth and last day of the game.

The tempo trio of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Shardul Thakur failed to maintain a consistent line and length.

"We'll have to give them time. In the past, our squad had four experienced fast bowlers who had played over 40 Tests. Experience is essential when playing Tests in Australia, England, or South Africa, even if it doesn't have as much of an effect in one-day or T20 games, Gambhir said after the defeat.

It's still early. How can we build a bowling assault if we begin evaluating our bowlers after each Test? Apart from Bumrah and Siraj, we don't have much experience, but the other bowlers have talent, which is why they are in this locker room.

"However, since it's not about a single tour, we must continue to support them." It's all about developing a strong fast-bowler arsenal that will benefit India in Test cricket for years to come.
