The impact of England’s long tour has started appearing on the Indian cricket team and some players have been injured. While Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury during the match, Arshdeep Singh got a wound during Team India’s practice. Nitish Kumar Reddy was injured during training in the gym and got out of the series. Apart from these, another player is struggling with injury and he also appeared in a lot of trouble before the Manchester Test match. These are fast bowler Akash Deep, who is struggling with the injury to the groin.
Right -arm fast bowler Akash Deep took part in the second and third Tests of this series. In the Edgbaston Test, Akash played an important role in giving the team a historic victory by taking 10 wickets, but he could not do anything special in Lord’s. On the fourth day of this Test match, he suffered an injury to the groin during the bowling, after which he had doubts about playing in the fourth Test match.
Question on Akash’s fitness remains intact
But just before the fourth Test starting on July 23 in Manchester, a video made it clear that Akash Deep will not be able to participate in this match. In fact, on July 21, 2 days before the match, Akash’s fitness test was taken during Team India’s training. A report by Revspports told that Akash Deep could not even bowl openly during this fitness test, so that his situation could be gauged.
Then when Akash was climbing the stairs to go to Old Trafford’s dressing room, it became clear that he is still not fit. While the players usually climb the stairs and go to the dressing room, Akash was climbing one ladder with great vigilance and holding the railing on both sides for the support.
Anshul will get a chance to debut
Along with Akash Deep, Arshdeep’s injury had put Team India in trouble and that is why the selection committee suddenly included Haryana’s young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj in the team. In such a situation, it is believed that Anshul can debut in Manchester. This right -handed bowler was also present in England earlier, where he played 2 first class matches against England Lions on behalf of India A.
