Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has already played 2 out of the promised three Test matches, while Mohammed Siraj is also on the brink of burnout, considering his non-stop workload in red-ball matches since 2024.India's Existing InjuriesIndia were suffering from an injury crisis since the last Test match at Lord's. Rishabh Pant copped a blow on his left finger on Day 1 of the Test match and has not been able to keep wickets since. If India's drills are of any indication, then it is likely that Dhruv Jurel will don the wicketkeeper's gloves in Manchester, with Rishabh Pant playing as a full-time batter.That change will make India's bowling short, and given the unavailability of Nitish Reddy, it will cause India massive headaches.India Today also learnt that the team has already drafted in Anshul Kamboj in the squad. However, an official announcement has not been made. Kamboj impressed in the A games with his impeccable line and length, but was sent back to India, due to the presence of Harshit Rana as the injury cover in the Indian team at the time.advertisementIn case Akash Deep is not able to play the Test match, here's how the Indian line-up might look like on Wednesday, July 23.KL Rahul, Yashaavi Jaiswal, Karun Nair/Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Kuldeep Yadav/Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna/Shardul Thakur.India's updated squad for England tour:Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (wk) (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Anshul Kamboj, Kuldeep Yadav.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Gkp man cycles to Annapurna Base Camp, hoists Tricolour at 13,550ft
1 2 Gorakhpur : In a remarkable display of endurance and determination, 29-year-old adventure cyclist Uma Singh from Gorakhpur scripted history by cycling to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) in Nepal, situated at an altitude of 13,550feet, where he hoisted the tricolour on Aug 1. With this feat, Uma becomes the second Indian and the fourth cyclist in the world to conquer the treacherous off-road trail to ABC on a bicycle. The journey began on July 26 from the Vikas Bhawan campus in Gorakhpur as part of a Tiranga Yatra, following which Uma commenced his cycling expedition from Pokhara on July 27. Over the next six days, he braved steep ascents, relentless rains, dense forests, rocky terrain and slippery trails to reach the summit. He completed the descent and returned safely to Pokhara by Aug 3 evening. Uma described the journey as one of the most grueling experiences of his life. He said: "The unpredictable weather, rocky climbs, leeches, insects and the constant fear of getting lost in the forest — every moment tested my limits. Sometimes the trail would disappear under heavy rain. But I kept telling myself, 'Just a little more, the summit is near.'" Reflecting on the moment he unfurled the triolour at the base camp, Uma called it "divine, surreal and blessed by the grace of Maa Annapurna. " TNN
