(PTI Photo/R Senthilkumar) (PTI07_22_2025_000376B) India are very likely to hand a Test debut to Arshdeep Singh in the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The seamer has recovered from the hand injury which needed stitches and bowled at full tilt in the optional net session today.

Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are likely to be the other two seamers, and a late call could be taken, if needed, on Jasprit Bumrah. "Playing red-ball cricket for the country is the ultimate dream of any cricketer. The same is with Arshdeep," Arshdeep's childhood coach Jaswant Rai tells " Wo pak chuka hai (He is ripe now). He should get a chance to play with the red ball. He can bring the balance that India has been looking for so long. India vs England, The Oval Test: Arshdeep Singh is fit and available for selection "He has patiently done the hard yards, and I might sound biased, but he deserves the Test cap. If not in England, then where?" With his incredible skill to swing the ball both ways and his dexterity to hit the 6m length consistently, Arshdeep Singh is arguably the best of his type India has had since Zaheer Khan. Only time will tell how well he is going to do at the Oval, but one thing is certain—he won't have a jersey fear. Poll Do you believe Arshdeep Singh will perform well on his Test debut? Yes, he will excel No, he will struggle It's too early to tell The 25-year-old has already played 63 T20Is and nine ODIs, and is a World Cup winner. Arshdeep was one of India's heroes in the T20 World Cup, the tournament's joint-leading wicket-taker with 17 dismissals to his name. It was he who bowled the 19th over in their famous T20 World Cup victory and kept things tight, conceding just 4 runs to strangle the South Africans in the final. " Asli pressure toh paanch din waala hota hai (Real pressure is playing in the five-day game)," he told in Ahmedabad, when asked about the pressure of an IPL final. Even before the selection for the England tour, his eyes were set, and in the past one month, he has worked hard on his bowling with bowling coach Morne Morkel keeping a close eye. The fifth Test between India and England will start on Thursday. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
