Asia Cup 2025: Vice-captaincy change on the cards? Bumrah among front-runners — Reports

Shubman Gill, fresh from his stellar showing in the recent Test series against England, is emerging as the player in focus ahead of the Asia Cup T20 in the UAE next month. However, he may have competition from Axar Patel for the vice-captain’s role in the Indian squad. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is also set to feature in the tournament, though he is likely to be rested for the first Test against the West Indies in early October. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is expected to name the Asia Cup squad on August 19 or 20, depending on when the Centre of Excellence’s Sports Science team submits the medical report for all players. This includes skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who has resumed batting practice at the nets in Bengaluru. While some tough selection calls lie ahead, the selectors are keen to maintain the continuity that has brought success since Suryakumar took charge as T20 captain. Axar Patel was the vice-captain during the recent home series against England, while Gill had the role when Suryakumar was first appointed full-time skipper in Sri Lanka last year. "Abhishek Sharma is world's No. 1 T20 batter in last ICC rankings. Sanju Samson has been fantastic last season with both bat and gloves. So it will certainly be a tough call but Shubman in current form (although in Tests) can't be ignored. He had a good IPL also.

Jurel featured in the last T20 series, while Jitesh impressed as a finisher during RCB’s IPL-winning campaign.

Shivam Dube, who made an impactful comeback in that series, is expected to retain his place. Axar Patel and Washington Sundar will provide spin-bowling all-round options. Seam attack question With Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh confirmed, the third seamer’s slot will likely go to either Prasidh Krishna—who took 25 wickets in the last IPL—or Harshit Rana, known for his heavy deliveries. Likely Contenders for Asia Cup Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicket-keeper), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana/Prasidh Krishna, Hardik Pandya, Jitesh Sharma/Dhruv Jurel.

The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England is upon us, with the Kia Oval in London to stage the series-decider starting Thursday (Jul 31). The two teams have given their all in the four contested matches, with the hosts leading 2-1. Although England will miss their captain and star all-rounder, Ben Stokes (out with a shoulder injury), alongside three bowlers who played in Manchester, India will also be without their ace quick, Jasprit Bumrah, and gloveman, Rishabh Pant, for this crucial match, with several more changes expected. Here is the match preview of the fifth IND-ENG Test at the Oval. Match Preview The visiting Indian Team has been in the news lately over its coach Gautam Gambhir’s ugly confrontation with the Surrey curator just days ahead of the final Test. Although it continues to linger on, with Indian captain Shubman Gill also sharing his thoughts on the same in the pre-game presser on Wednesday (Jul 30), the five days of cricket that are to follow will hog all the limelight. Bumrah is most likely to miss the final Test (with niggle and not for his workload management), with India likely bringing in seamer Akash Deep in his place. That, however, might not be the only change. Several reports have suggested that India might bring back Karun Nair for all-rounder Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna for Anshul Kamboj, with no signs of Arshdeep Singh making his Test debut. Kuldeep Yadav, who also didn’t get a game in the series, could remain on the bench for the series decider. Moreover, Rishabh Pant’s absence will hurt India the most, considering his ability to change the course of the game in a couple of overs. England, on the other hand, has already announced their playing XI for the Oval Test, with their captain, Ben Stokes, ruled out with a torn shoulder muscle. Not only that, but the hosts will also be without Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse and all-rounder Liam Dawson, with Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton back in the playing XI. Unlike India, where Gill remains the captain, England will have vice-captain Ollie Pope wearing the captain’s hat for this match, with rookie all-rounder Jacob Bethell also returning to the side, replacing Stokes. Although both teams will miss their star players in this match, it remains to be seen if England could be better off without Stokes or not. Predicted/Playing XIs – Team India’s Predicted Playing XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (captain), Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj England’s Playing XI – Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (captain), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue

IND vs ENG 2025: Bumrah unlocks unwanted record in Manchester as England punish India on day 4

<p>Test cricket is often characterised by textbook defence, which includes leaving balls outside the off-stump, playing late, and, most importantly, maintaining focus. Players typically defend more deliveries than they score, as the longest format of the game requires patience, skill, and determination. Bowlers also appreciate this format, as they must create opportunities to take wickets and consistently bowl in the good length area.

Next on to share their thoughts on which United player would make the best cricketer, the pacer replied by taking name of Mason Mount, while Karun said Matheus Cunha, who Manchester United recently signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. Lastly, when the duo were asked about who in the Indian cricket team will be the best footballer, Karun laughingly said that there is no one better than him, while Jasprit Bumrah made a startling revelation and said that all the members of the Indian cricket team are fond of Mohammed Siraj.</p>

<p>In a massive boost to Team India’s chances of making a comeback in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, ace seamer Mohammed Siraj confirmed that premier quick Jasprit Bumrah will spearhead the pace attack in the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester starting Wednesday (Jul 23).

In a massive boost to Team India’s chances of making a comeback in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, ace seamer Mohammed Siraj confirmed that premier quick Jasprit Bumrah will spearhead the pace attack in the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester starting Wednesday (Jul 23). Uncertainty loomed over Bumrah’s selection for the fourth Test after he featured in two of the three matches he was supposed to play on this UK tour, with Siraj confirming Bumrah's availability for the upcoming game in the pre-match presser. His selection, however, also came on the back of the visiting camp running out of options in first-team quicks due to injuries to several pacers, including Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep. Team India trails by 1-2 in this marquee five-match series. After losing the series opener at Headingley in Leeds, India won the next match at Edgbaston – their first Test win at the venue but lost the next one at Lord’s in a close tie. If losing that one didn’t hurt enough, given India could chase 192 with four sessions remaining, injuries to the pace twins, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rishabh Pant, added salt to the wounds. While Arshdeep is ruled out of the Manchester Test with an injured bowling hand, Akash Deep is suffering from a right groin injury, the signs of which he showed during the Lord’s Test. Pant, who injured his finger while keeping in England’s first innings in London, will play as a batter in Manchester, with his fellow gloveman Dhruv Jurel likely to play as the keeper-batter. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is the latest addition to the list, getting ruled out of the remaining two matches with a knee injury. India has added uncapped Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj to the squad as a cover for Arshdeep. Bumrah in England Bumrah loves playing in England. On his third away Test tour to the UK, Bumrah has picked up 12 wickets in two contested matches thus far, including bagging two five-wicket hauls in each game (at Leeds and Lord’s). While he also surpassed Wasim Akram on the list of Asian quicks for the most wickets in SENA countries, his 14 five-fors in Tests keep him ahead of all Indian pacers on this list. Even though India lost both matches he featured in and won the one where he was on the bench, Bumrah's availability for the fourth Test in Manchester will boost Team India’s morale. However, with Siraj and Bumrah being the sure starters, it remains to be seen who plays as the first-change quick. India squad for fourth Test - Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (vc & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav and Anshul Kamboj

IND vs ENG 2025: India might play Bumrah in Manchester after two fast bowlers ruled out with injuries
