After the defeat in the Lord's Test, once again the discussions have gained momentum whether fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play in the fourth Test or he will be given rest, but this time the Indian team management is not in the mood to take any kind of risk. After trailing 1-2 in the series, the team management has prepared to field Bumrah in the do-or-die fourth Test starting on July 23 at Old Trafford.
Bumrah can play in the fourth Test.
After losing the Leeds Test, Bumrah was given rest in the Edgbaston Test, but giving rest to this fast bowler in Manchester can be a danger signal for the Indian team. If India loses here, the series will be lost. In such a situation, there will be no point in fielding him in the fifth Test. Due to bowling workload management, it was decided to field Bumrah in three Tests of the five-Test series. Bumrah has played two Tests, and he has to play only one of the remaining two Tests. Indian team's assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate said that it is clear that the series is in a decisive position in Manchester, so we incline to field Bumrah here. However, the decision to play him will be taken at the last moment.
The Indian team will reach Manchester on the 19th
After the practice session of the Indian team, Ten Doeschate said, We know that we have a chance to play him in only one of the remaining two Tests, but we have to look at many other aspects as well. The Indian team will reach Manchester on July 19; till then, the team will practice here. However, England captain Stokes ignored workload management and led the team to a 22-run victory over India at Lord's. Stokes bowled two consecutive spells of 9.2 and 10 overs. Coach McCullum was sending him messages on the field that he should take care of his body, but Stokes did not stop for the team. Ten Doeschate refused to compare the two cricketers on this matter.
Arshdeep was injured during a practice session.
Arshdeep Singh got injured during the practice session. While bowling, he injured his hand while trying to stop Sai Sudarshan's shot. Ten Doeschate said he has a cut on his hand while trying to stop Sai's shot. We have to see how risky this cut is. He has been taken to the doctor. The important thing for further plans is whether he needs stitches or not. After Arshdeep withdrew from bowling, bowling coach Marne Morkel also had to bowl.
Pant is expected to be fully fit before the fourth Test.
Rishabh Pant, who got injured at Lord's, did not bat in the practice session held on Thursday. But he was present with the team. Ten Doeschate said, Pant batted in the third Test in pain. He is recovering and we do not want to go into that situation once again where his finger has a problem. And we have to call an additional keeper. That's why he has been given rest from the practice session. Hopefully he will recover before the fourth Test.
