Team India has suffered a major setback before the fifth and last Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England. The star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has already been out of this important match due to injury. At the same time, now the BCCI medical team has decided to keep another big player out of this match. To end the series on par, Team India has to win this match under any circumstances, in such a situation, being out of another player is a big shock for the team.
After Pant, this star player also out of the 5th Test
Team India star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not play in the last match of this series. This match will start from Thursday at the Oval ground in London. According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, the BCCI medical team has advised Bumrah that he should stay away from this match in view of his back health, so that his future is safe. This decision is not completely shocking, because it was already decided that Bumrah would play only three out of five Tests in this England tour. Bumrah played the first Test in the headingley, the second Test missed in Birmingham, then played in Lord’s and Old Trafford. That is, he has already played 3 matches in this series.
Despite getting a three -day break before the Oval Test, Team India has upheld the decision to rest Bumrah. Team management could have changed this scheme, especially when India can equal the series 2-2 by winning the oval. But keeping in mind Bumrah’s fitness and long plan, he has been given rest. Let me tell you, in the Old Trafford Test, the effect of tiredness on Bumrah’s bowling was also seen. He took two wickets in 33 overs. Also, for the first time, he took over 100 runs in an innings, which was the first time in his career.
Which bowler will be entry?
In Old Trafford, Gautam Gambhir confirmed that all his fast bowlers are fit, which means that Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep have recovered from injuries. In such a situation, Akash Deep is a big contender for returning in playing 11, who played an important role in the only victory of Team India in this series. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh has also become fit, in such a situation, he can also get a chance to debut in Tests.
