India has called up Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj as a replacement for the injured Arshdeep Singh during the ongoing England Test series. The 24-year-old bowler brings experience from 24 first-class matches, where he claimed 79 wickets. His recent performances with India A featured five dismissals across two three-day fixtures last month. Star Sports confirmed his addition to the squad before the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. Team management faces bowling selection challenges with multiple injury concerns affecting their plans.
Arshdeep sustained the injury while attempting to field a ball during Thursday's practice sessions. Medical staff treated a deep cut on his bowling hand that required immediate attention. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate expressed uncertainty about the severity and potential need for stitches. The injury removes Arshdeep from consideration for the upcoming match despite previous selection prospects. Additional concerns surround Akash Deep, who experienced groin discomfort during the third Test at Lord's and left the field without bowling again after treatment.
England currently holds a 2-1 advantage in the five-match series following their 22-run victory at Lord's.
