Team India will be poised to level the five-match Test series against England as the two nations meet for the fourth time in Manchester starting Wednesday (July 23). With the Indian team management set to prioritise Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness, it is likely that he could sit out of the Old Trafford contest. Now jumping into the conversation, former India stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane has named his ideal replacement for Bumrah and for once, it is not Jasprit Bumrah.<h2>Rahane names his ideal replacement</h2>“I think so, yes. If Bumrah is not playing, Arshdeep is the guy. Because in England, you need a left-arm seamer who can swing the ball both ways, and also, with a different angle, he can create that rough for the spinners. So, if Bumrah doesn't play, Arshdeep should play the next one," Rahane said on his YouTube channel.&nbsp;The pacer was rested for the Edgbaston but returned for the Lord’s contest, helping India bowl out England for 192 in the second innings. However, with the T20 World Cup and other commitments on the table in the near future, it is unlikely that the team management was going to risk Bumrah’s fitness.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ravindra-jadeja-only-player-from-2014-manchester-test-vs-england-and-he-was-india-s-worst-batter-1752861719097">Ravindra Jadeja only player from 2014 Manchester Test vs England and he was India's worst batter</a>&nbsp;In case the pacer is rested, India could bring in Arshdeep Singh, while Prasidh Krishna also remains an option.

India are 1-2 down in the ongoing five-Test series against England with fourth Test set to be played from July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Former India coach Gary Kirsten has recently revealed that the BCCI selectors had a tough time in deciding whether to include Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 ODI WC squad or not. He said it was a very close call at that time but it was him and captain MS Dhoni who strongly supported Yuvraj Singh selection in the team. It was very clear that in the end their opinion regarding the selection of Yuvraj Singh in the team won. Yuvraj went on to become the Player of the Tournament and helped India to win their second ICC ODI World Cup after 28 years.&nbsp;During the 2011 ODI World Cup the left-handed batter from the Punjab scored 362 runs in eight matches at an impressive average of over 90.50. He also took 15 wickets with his part-time spin and maintained a good economy rate of just five runs per over (5.02).&nbsp;Also Check - <a href="5 Indian batters with most fifty-plus scores vs England in Tests">5 Indian batters with most fifty-plus scores vs England in Tests</a>&nbsp;His important 2011 ODI World Cup performances included three back-to-back fifties in the group stage, an important half-century in the quarter-finals against Australia and a century against the West Indies. Surprisingly, he achieved all of these innings while battling with the cancer.&nbsp;“Thank goodness we picked him because it was flipping close, he was. It was not a slam-dunk selection. The selectors kind of debated around the 15 players. I was very keen to have him in the team, as was Dhoni, because of the experience that he brought to the group. And look at the World Cup he ended up having,” Kirsten told Rediff.com. &nbsp;"I was always very fond of Yuvraj. We had this kind of great relationship where like, he used to frustrate the hell out of me sometimes, but I just loved him. He was good. I just want him to be scoring runs all the time because when I watch him bat, it’s just like amazing to watch. But there was a journey he had to walk, and credit to Paddy," added Kirsten. “Paddy did a lot of work with Yuvi to get him ready for that World Cup.

Ahead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford cricket ground starting Wednesday (Jul 23), veteran Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane has shared a strong suggestion to help India level the series. England currently leads 2-1 and a win in Manchester would seal the series for them. To make things worse, history doesn’t favour India here. In nine Tests played at Old Trafford, India are yet to win even once. After pulling off their first-ever win in Birmingham, Shubman Gill’s side now chases another maiden victory in Manchester.&nbsp;Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rahane said India needs to focus on getting 20 wickets and for that, he wants an extra bowler in the playing XI. "We all know that Days 4 and 5 get slightly difficult to bat on. It's not easy to score runs. Yes, England bowled well. But I felt India missed an opportunity to get that big score on the board in the first innings. And also, I feel going forward, India should look to add one extra bowler - because you're going to win a Test match or a Test series by getting 20 wickets," Rahane said on his YouTube channel.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/happy-birthday-smriti-mandhana-she-is-the-only-indian-to-feature-in-this-elite-list-details-inside-1752826207053">Happy Birthday Smriti Mandhana: She is the only Indian to feature in this ELITE list. Details inside</a>

He backed a pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep Singh and hinted that India might have to leave out one all-rounder to make space for a proper bowler. Talks of all-rounder Nitish Reddy to be dropped from the team have surfaced since the conclusion of the third Test. Kuldeep Yadav could be in line for a return. However, a question arises: should India choose Arshdeep Singh instead of Kuldeep? The pitch and cloud cover may determine who the fourth bowler should be for the visitors.&nbsp;Rahane also praised Ben Stokes for the energy he brings to the field, especially during crunch moments. "It's very easy for the fielder to get relaxed. When you see only two or three balls left before lunch, you can easily get relaxed. But his attitude towards the ball, his intensity, and getting that run-out - that's where I felt England came into the game," he added.

Talks of all-rounder Nitish Reddy to be dropped from the team have surfaced since the conclusion of the third Test. Kuldeep Yadav could be in line for a return. However, a question arises: should India choose Arshdeep Singh instead of Kuldeep?

Ahead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford cricket ground starting Wednesday (Jul 23), veteran Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane has shared a strong suggestion to help India level the series. England currently leads 2-1 and a win in Manchester would seal the series for them. To make things worse, history doesn’t favour India here. In nine Tests played at Old Trafford, India are yet to win even once. After pulling off their first-ever win in Birmingham, Shubman Gill’s side now chases another maiden victory in Manchester. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rahane said India needs to focus on getting 20 wickets and for that, he wants an extra bowler in the playing XI. "We all know that Days 4 and 5 get slightly difficult to bat on. It's not easy to score runs. Yes, England bowled well. But I felt India missed an opportunity to get that big score on the board in the first innings. And also, I feel going forward, India should look to add one extra bowler - because you're going to win a Test match or a Test series by getting 20 wickets," Rahane said on his YouTube channel.

'India should look to add..': Rahane's crucial advice to India for Manchester Test

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar says that newly-appointed Test skipper Shubman Gill's dismissal in second innings of the Lord's Test had something to do with scuffle he had with England batter Zak Crawley in last over of the day 3. Gill exchanged words with Crawley after England batter pulled out of batting stance against Bumrah twice and asked for glove change in the same over as well. Gill's reaction took everyone by surprise as he had never been known to be this aggressive before becoming the captain.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-rishabh-pant-out-of-4th-test-india-assistant-coach-says-he-will-bat-in-manchester-1752774217095">IND vs ENG: 'Don't think...,' India coach on Pant injury ahead of 4th Test</a>"Going through Shubman Gill's defence has been hard work. He has hardly missed a ball. The control percentage has been brilliant. And suddenly, in about nine deliveries [in the second innings], he's missed four. I have no doubt that there is a connection there," Manjrekar said via ESPNCricinfo."And just to extend on that point, if Shubman Gill had that kind of a fiery side to him, we would have seen it a little earlier. You don't have to show it when you're captain. Or did he show it because he's got this confidence now that he's won a Test match and he's got so many runs? Because with Virat Kohli, you could see that he was ready for a scrap. He was always waiting to get in the thick of things. Even when he wasn't a captain, you could see him coming in there. So that was a trait that we'd seen even before he was captain. With Shubman Gill, I've never seen it before," he added.India went on to lose the Test by 22 runs after failing to chase down a modest 194. Gill, who had scored 585 runs in the first two Tests including three tons, failed to score even a fifty in the match. India now trail the five-match series 1-2 with fourth Test set to be played from July 23 in Manchester.

India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is unlikely to keep wickets in fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester but is almost to sure to play as indicated by assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate. Pant had suffered finger injury on the first day the Lord's Test and was substituted by Dhruv Jurel for the rest of the Test behind the wickets. Pant, however, did bat in both the innings with the injured finger and even scored a fifty in the first innings. His wicket in the second innings, however, came at a crucial time during closing moments of the day 4 which eventually turned tables and India lost the match by 22 runs.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-will-bumrah-s-play-in-fourth-test-in-manchester-india-assistance-coach-says-its-pretty-obvious-1752769242972">Will Bumrah play in fourth Test in Manchester?

We need to make sure that he can keep — we don't want to go through that again where we have to replace the keeper halfway through an innings. But he rested today, was trying to give the finger as long as possible, and hopefully, he's good to go in Manchester in the first session.

IND vs ENG: 'Don't think...,' India coach ten Doeschate shares update on Rishabh Pant injury ahead of Manchester Test

India is leaning towards playing premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth Test against England which starts July 23. India are currently 1-2 down in the five-Test series and have won the only Test which Bumrah didn't play - second match at Edgbaston. It was however, lack of support from other bowlers in the first Test at Headingley and batters failing to perform in the third Test at Lord's because of which India lost and not due to Bumrah's performance. In fact, Bumrah has taken a five-for in each of the Tests he played - showing why he's extremely important for India. The pacer although is available only for one more Test out of remaining two due to workload management.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/why-kohli-gained-12-rating-points-in-t20is-even-after-retiring-check-the-reason-1752731601105">Retired from T20Is, Kohli gains 12 rating points in ICC rankings - Here's how</a>"We'll make that call [on Bumrah] in Manchester still," said India assistance coach Ryan ten Doeschate in a press conference. "We know we have got him for one of the last two Tests. It's pretty obvious that the series on the line now in Manchester so there will be a leaning towards playing him. "But again, we have got to look at all the factors: how many days of cricket are we going to get up there, what do we feel is our best chance of winning that game, and then how that fits in together with The Oval. And looking at the last two games holistically as part of the series," he added.Meanwhile, India suffered another blow as pacer Arshdeep Singh injured his bowling hand during the net session and left the field. It is not clear if he'd require stitching or if he'll be playing at Old Trafford in Manchester. Doeschate also refused to answer about Arshdeep's participation and bowling combo. "We'll take a call on the combination we play, particularly given the Arshdeep situation as well. We'll make that call closer to Manchester," he said.

Virat Kohli continues to grab headlines even after stepping away from two formats of the game. Despite, bidding adieu to T20I and Test cricket, Virat Kohli has achieved an incredible feat that many active cricketers dream of. Kohli has become the first player in the history of cricket to breach the 900 rating points in all three formats of the game. The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday (Jul 16) amended Virat's T20I rating points from 897 to 909. That puts the Indian stalwart into a league of his own. Kohli had the career best rating points of 909 in T20Is, 909 in ODIs and 937 in Tests.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, this news might have left you scratching your head.

&nbsp;Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami married Hasin Jahan in 2014, and the couple welcomed Ayra a year later. However, in 2018, their relationship hit a rough patch. Hasin Jahan accused Shami of domestic abuse and match-fixing, sparking a lengthy legal battle. Since then, they’ve lived apart.&nbsp;The Kolkata High Court recently directed Shami to pay ₹4 lakh per month as alimony to his estranged wife and daughter. The ruling underscores the ongoing family turmoil in his personal life.&nbsp;Professionally, Shami has been away from international cricket since March 2025, when he played against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy Final. His performance in IPL 2025, where he played for the Orange Army (SunRisers Hyderabad), was not of Shami's calibre.&nbsp;&nbsp;Besides, concerns over his fitness also led to him being left out of the recent Test series against England.

On account of Ayra's birthday, Shami shared a heartfelt post for his daughter Ayra, who is celebrating her 10th birthday on Thursday (Jul 17). Despite her special day, Shami couldn’t be with her as she lives with her mother, Hasin Jahan, who has been living apart since 2018. 

In recent years, the personal life of Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has captured significant public and media attention, particularly his tense relationship with his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan. Shami stays alone while his estranged wife has custody of their beloved daughter Ayra. On the occasion of Ayra's birthday, Shami shared a heartfelt post for his daughter, who celebrated her 10th birthday on Thursday (Jul 17). Despite her special day, Shami couldn’t be with her. Shami took to Instagram to share the emotional distance he has been facing with his daughter. Wishing Ayra, Shami wrote, “Darling daughter, I still remember all the nights we spent staying up, talking, laughing and specifically your dance. Can’t believe you are growing up so fast. I wish only the best for you in life. May God bless you abundantly with love, peace, joy, and good health today and always.

The ongoing chatter surrounding the use of Dukes balls during India’s away tour of England has sparked quite a debate, with former captains, analysts, commentators and who’s who of world cricket commenting on it. While it made headlines during the just concluded Lord’s Test with the Indian camp regularly requesting a ball-change throughout the game, former England captain-turned-broadcaster Alastair Cook took a hilarious yet sly dig at the bowlers, saying, ‘they are always moaning.’ Considering both teams played out a challenging Test at the Mecca of Cricket, with England winning the close contest late on day five, Cook took a playful jab at bowlers for blaming the ball when things don’t go their way.&nbsp;"I just love how bowlers are always moaning," Cook said with a smile on BBC Sport. "It's like they bowl a bad ball, and it's never their fault. They've scraped the footmark. If they bowl a bad ball, they look at the ball and blame the shape."&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/england-cricket-in-awe-of-teen-wonder-14-year-old-vaibhav-suryavanshi-calls-him-tendulkar-kohli-level-or-even-beyond-1752738522996">England Cricket in awe of teen wonder Suryavanshi, calls him 'Tendulkar-Kohli level, or even beyond’</a> &nbsp;Meanwhile, Cook’s take on this ball-change saga has come amid increasing scrutiny of the Dukes ball, used in the UK and the ongoing Test series between India and England.

"It didn't make much sense." &nbsp;Meanwhile, the action moves to Manchester for the fourth Test starting next Wednesday (Jul 23). &nbsp;While England won the series opener in Leeds, chasing 372 on the fifth day, they failed to repeat their heroics in the following Test at Edgbaston, with India winning that and making a comeback in the series.

Jasprit Bumrah was not supposed to play more than three matches in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, and having already featured in two of the three contested matches, he could now play in one of the remaining two; the question arises, which one? Team India trails (1-2) in this five-match series, with the fourth Test – a do-or-die for them- begins next Wednesday (Jul 23) at Old Trafford in Manchester. Considering India must win that one or, worse, draw it to stay alive in the series, call on Bumrah’s inclusion is crucial to the outcome. So would India play him in the next game? Former England great David Lloyd shares his thoughts.&nbsp;Bumrah would, or rather will, play the next game in Manchester, in the pursuit of helping India make a comeback and level the scores before fighting for a series win in the UK for the first time since 2007 in the final Test at the Oval.

To support this statement, India’s win-loss ratio (in 47 matches that Bumrah has played) since his Test debut (in 2018) has been 20-23, with four games ending in a draw. However, in 27 Tests where he didn’t play, India lost just five, winning 19 and drawing three.&nbsp;&nbsp;The latest example of it is the ongoing England series, where India won the game he didn’t feature in and lost both the games he played. &nbsp;“That's extraordinary. There was something that said when he plays, they lose more than when he doesn't play, and he is like the best bowler in the world. And he is awkward and nasty with his action, but a thoroughly decent fella,” he added.

The bigger question here is, should India win the fourth Test match, would they risk him (playing the Oval Test) for a shot at history, or would head coach Gautam Gambhir stick to his words and rest him regardless of the result?

Jasprit Bumrah was not supposed to play more than three matches in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, and having already featured in two of the three contested matches, he could now play in one of the remaining two; the question arises, which one? Team India trails (1-2) in this five-match series, with the fourth Test – a do-or-die for them- begins next Wednesday (Jul 23) at Old Trafford in Manchester. Considering India must win that one or, worse, draw it to stay alive in the series, call on Bumrah’s inclusion is crucial to the outcome. So would India play him in the next game? Former England great David Lloyd shares his thoughts. Bumrah would, or rather will, play the next game in Manchester, in the pursuit of helping India make a comeback and level the scores before fighting for a series win in the UK for the first time since 2007 in the final Test at the Oval.

To represent the West Indies has been one of the proudest achievements in my life," Russell said on his retirement.&nbsp; &nbsp;"When I was a kid, I did not expect to get to this level, but the more you start to play and get to love the sport, you realise what you can achieve.

West Indies great Brian Lara thinks that 'contract cricket' is causing the downfall of the current team. The comments come after West Indies were bowled out for 27 in Barbados Test against Australia in the second innings - one of the lowest totals in a Test innings and definitely their lowest of all time. West Indies also lost the three-Test series 0-3 at home despite being in strong positions at times in all three matches. The performance is, however, not a shocker as West Indies have been the poor performers for years on the trot now but getting all out at 27 is a new low even for them.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/why-england-dropped-one-place-on-wtc-2025-27-points-table-despite-winning-lords-test-1752662710605">England drop one place on WTC points table despite winning Lord's Test</a>“We played first class cricket and some of us even played county cricket to try to get into the West Indies team," Lara said while talking on the cricket podcast Stick To Cricket. “We are now using the West Indies team as a stepping stone, as a stage for us to get, you know, contracts around.
