ENG vs IND: Anshul Kamboj added to the Indian squad for the remaining two games due to... - Reports

Anshul Kamboj was recently part of the India A team, which played the unofficial test series against England Lions.

In a recent development, according to reports in The Indian Express, it has been learned that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has added Anshul Kamboj to the team for the remaining two tests against the England Cricket Team. The fast bowler has been included as a cover for Arshdeep Singh. 

The Indian Cricket Team suffered a massive blow ahead of the next test. Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh faced a deep cut on his bowling hand during the net session. He has reportedly been ruled out of the upcoming fourth test against England at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, to be played from July 23rd. 

Arshdeep Singh suffered the injury while trying to stop the ball from Sai Sudharsan on his follow-through in the nets. The pacer’s hand was stitched up, and it is learned that he will take at least ten days to get completely fit.

On the other hand, the BCCI are also mulling over the fitness of Akash Deep for the next game. The pacer reportedly has been struggling with a groin injury and didn’t bowl in the net session in the practice session before leaving for Manchester. 

Hence, keeping this in mind, the BCCI called Anshul Kamboj to join the squad in England. The source close to developments confirmed the same, saying: 

“Arshdeep has a deep cut and has had stitches, he will take at least ten days to get completely fit. The selectors have decided to add Kamboj in the squad,” a BCCI source said.

Since the last few months, Anshul Kamboj has been one of the most exciting pacers in Indian domestic cricket. He was recently part of the India A team, which played the unofficial test series against England Lions. He was a standout pacer for his team. 

Anshul Kamboj picked up five wickets in the two games. The fast bowler impressed everyone with his speed and tight line. So far in the 24 FC games for Haryana, the right-arm pacer has taken 79 wickets. 

With Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep struggling with injuries and Jasprit Bumrah to play just one more game, there might be a chance that Kamboj might make his debut.
