India Captain Gill Accuses England Of Violating 'Spirit Of The Game' Ahead Of 4th Cricket Test
Tensions are rising ahead of the fourth test between England and India at Old Trafford. India captain Shubman Gill said Tuesday that England had acted against the spirit of the game by delaying play in last week's heated third test at Lords. Gill was not happy about England batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett being late to the crease on the third day of the test which the host won by 22 runs to take a 2-1 series lead. A flashpoint came when England's openers had to bat out the final seven minutes but India was only able to get through one over. 'A lot of people have been talking about it so let me just clear the air once and for all,' Gill said. 'The English batsmen on that day had seven minutes of play left they were 90 seconds late to come to the crease. Not 10 not 20 – 90 seconds late.' Gill went on to say England's actions were not something that comes in the spirit of the game. There were a number of clashes between players over the next two days of the test. England can secure a series victory with a win in the fourth test which starts Wednesday. England captain Ben Stokes said his team would not look to antagonize India but would not back down either. 'It's not something we're going to go out and purposefully look to start (an argument) because that will take our focus off what we need to do out in the middle,' he said. 'But by no means we are not going to take a backward step and let any opposition try and be confrontational toward us and not try to give a bit back. That goes for most teams so it is not like we are the only team who does that.'

India's Deep ruled out of fourth test, Kamboj set for debut
Fast bowler Akash Deep will be unavailable for the fourth test against England in Manchester, India captain Shubman Gill said on Tuesday, with right-arm quick Anshul Kamboj likely to make his debut. India drafted Kamboj into the squad on Monday with Nitish Kumar Reddy ruled out of the rest of the tour with a knee injury and fellow seamer Arshdeep Singh unfit for the next test. With Deep nursing a groin issue, India will decide between Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna for the match starting on Wednesday. "Never easy, when there's injuries in the squad. Nitish is going to miss out on the series and Akash is also unavailable for this next match. So is Arshdeep," Gill told reporters. "I think we have got enough good players in the team to be able to firstly get 20 wickets. That's been the most challenging part of the series. "Anshul is very close to making his debut. We're going to see tomorrow between him and Prasidh." India's top order has impressed during the series, but concerns remain around the form of Karun Nair, who has made 131 runs in six innings with a highest score of 40. "Karun is batting well," Gill said. "In the first match, he didn't really play at his number. "It's difficult when a player is making a comeback in a series like this, but I don't think there's been any issue with his batting. "It's about getting that click, once you are able to make your fifty, then you're able to get back into your zone and get some big runs." Gill reflected on his heated exchange with England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley late on day three of the Lord's test. "The English batsmen on that day had seven minutes of play left. They were 90 seconds late to come to the place. Not 10, not 20, 90 seconds late," Gill said. "Yes, most of the teams use this. Even if we were in a position, we would have also liked to play fewer overs, but there's a manner to do it. "If you get hit on your body, the physios are allowed to come on and that is something that is fair. But to be able to come 90 seconds late on the grass is not something that I would think comes in the spirit of the game." England lead the five-match series 2-1.

Win in India decider would be 'shift' for England
Winning Tuesday's one-day series decider against India would help "shift" the narrative around the England women's team, says all-rounder Charlie Dean. England levelled the three-match series with victory in a rain-shortened match at Lord's on Saturday, leaving the contest tied at 1-1 going into the final match at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday. Following their Ashes hammering by Australia in the winter, England won all six matches against West Indies at the start of the summer but were well beaten by India in the T20 series which followed. "Losing the T20 series and the first game of the 50-over, it would feel like a bit of a shift," Dean said. "To be able to pull that off would be something really special and would give a lot of girls a lot of confidence going to India." Tuesday is England's last official fixture in the 50-over format before their World Cup campaign begins on 3 October against South Africa in India. A regular criticism of England of recent years has been their ability to win bilateral series outside of World Cups, only to lose pressure matches at the major tournaments. They lost to South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2023 T20 World Cup and exited last year's event at the group stage after crumbling in a winner-takes-all match against West Indies. Tuesday's decider will be as close as possible to such moments outside of the global events. "We have seen bilateral series where done really but when come to the World Cup games or tournament cricket we have not had the momentum or been clinical in those pressure moments," Dean said. "Any chance we can emulate that in bilateral series is perfect practice. "Obviously we want to win, but even if we don't we can take those learnings, keep getting better and set ourselves up to have a good 50-over competition. That is the most important. "No matter how the game goes tomorrow that we really reflect and learn from the situation." India women in England 2025
