India To Hand Debut To 26-Year-Old Star In Oval Test Against England: Report
Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is set to make his debut in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval, starting July 31. The 26-year-old bowled at full tilt during India's optional training session on Tuesday, having recovered from an hand injury which had ruled him out of the Manchester Test last week. According to a report in the Times of India (TOI), Arshdeep was in the management's plan for the last two Tests, but his injury, which required stitches, ruled him out of the game. "It is understood that the management had him in the plans for the last two Tests, but his injury made him unavailable in Manchester. With Arshdeep very likely to get into the XI, India's bowling combination is set to be rejigged once again," the report said. The report added that Akash Deep, one of the heroes of India's famous win at Edgbaston, is also likely to return to the playing XI. " Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are likely to be the other two seamers, and a late call could be taken, if needed, on Jasprit Bumrah." Meanwhile, Arshdeep's childhood coach Jaswant Rai feels the pacer is ready to take on the red ball challenge. "Playing red-ball cricket for the country is the ultimate dream of any cricketer. The same is with Arshdeep. Wo pak chuka hai (He is ripe now). He should get a chance to play with the red ball. He can bring the balance that India has been looking for so long. He has patiently done the hard yards, and I might sound biased, but he deserves the Test cap. If not in England, then where?" Jaswant told TOI. India forced a draw at Old Trafford in Manchester to stay hot on England's heels as the gruelling series heads towards its conclusion. Indian squad: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc, wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.

Shubman Gill Receives Massive Verdict Amid Handshake Row: 'Not Scared To Poke...'
Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan was quite impressed with Shubman Gill 's leadership in the ongoing Test series. The India-England series was the first one for Gill as a captain but his batting performances as well as courtageous outlook has earned him a lot of praise. While India are trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, the young side has shown a lot of fight and Gill has been leading from the front. Vaughan praised Gill for the aggression that he has shown on the pitch and how he has backed his teammates in multiple situation during the series when tempers flared on the pitch. "I like to see a young captain with a little bit of authority. I've actually loved the way that he has spoken. He's not been scared to kind of poke the bear. You've got to stand up for your teammates, for what you believe as a team. So far, in Shubman Gill, I am seeing a captain that is willing to do that," Vaughan said on Cricbuzz. Gill got into an on-field spat with Zak Crawley during the third match and during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, he once again backed his batters during the entire 'handshake' controversy. Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik was all praise for Gill as well and credited him for how he handled the situation towards the end of the fourth Test. "He came in as a young captain and people were not sure how it is going to pan out, but I can tell you, we have got a bona fide superstar as a Test captain because of the guts that he is showing as a batter, because of how much he stands his ground about what he believes in. The last 10-15 minutes, the way it unfolded, he was just standing there in the balcony, literally poker face saying, 'Get out there, get your hundreds'," Dinesh Karthik said.

Watch: N Jagadeesan Shows Off Batting Skills After Replacing Rishabh Pant
N Jagadeesan had a first hit in the nets session after replacing Rishabh Pant in India's playing squad for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India's optional practice session at the Oval on Tuesday (July 29), two days before the final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, might have been marred by Gautam Gambhir's altercation with the head groundsman, Lee Fortis, but it had some other important titbits for the team. One of them was the arrival of Narayan Jagadeesan. The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper had his first hit at the nets after joining the squad as a replacement for the injured Rishabh Pant. In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their official social media accounts, Jagadeesan is seen coming down the stairs of the ground and having a hit against pacers and spinners alongside the rest of his teammates. Pant suffered a foot fracture while batting on the first day of the Test at Old Trafford. Though he came to bat on the following day, he has been advised to rest for the foreseeable future. Recently, he shared photos of his plaster and gave an optimistic statement to his fans. 'Appreciate all the love and good wishes coming my way," Pant said in the post on Instagram. 'It's been a real source of strength. I will begin rehab once my fracture heals and I am slowly settling into the process. Staying patient, following the routines, and giving it my 100%. Playing for the country has always been the proudest moment of my life. Can't wait to be back doing what I love," he added. Will N Jagadeesan play at the Oval? Pant's absence opens a place for another wicketkeeper in India's 11. Jagadeesan has an excellent First-Class record behind him with 3373 runs at an average of 47.50 and a strike rate of 62.40. However, it'll be difficult to see him get straight into the team. There's Dhruv Jurel ahead of him and the UP 'keeper has not only made his debut for India against England at home, but he also has been pretty safe behind the stumps whenever Pant has had to sit out throughout the series. view comments First Published:
