"Shubman Gill Sent Me A Text": How PBKS Star Joined Team India's Practice Session In Birmingham
Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar, who was recently spotted bowling in India's practice sessions ahead of their second Test against England, has revealed that a text message from skipper Shubman Gill got him to bowl to the batters in the two-day training session. India are aiming to bounce back in the second Test at Edgbaston, starting on July 2, after losing the series opener in Leeds by five wickets. "I met my friends on foreign soil. My wife is from Swindon. It's quite close - a one and a half hour drive from Birmingham." "I was talking to Shubman yesterday and he sent me a text. I thought, let's go and practice there (in Birmingham). It's a different feeling - it feels like we have come together as a family," said Brar, who played for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, in a video posted on on Sunday. Apart from him, the touring Indian team had the services of Chandigarh pacer Jagjit Singh Sandhu, who is currently in Birmingham due to his cricket commitments. "It didn't feel like I hadn't spoken to them for a long time. They were all like, oh? They were all surprised. I play first class cricket for Chandigarh. Then I got to know of this and came here to bowl in the nets session of the Indian team," he said. Turns out, Jagjit knows a lot of members of the Indian team very well, especially young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh. "So Rishabh Pant and I played together in the U19 zone one day competition. Shubman Gill was in first season in the U19 zone, while it was my last season in that age-group." "I played with Akash Deep in the Duleep Trophy. I played with Washington Sundar in the U19 zone. He was in the South Zone and I was in the North Zone. Arshdeep is my junior. When I was in the U19 zone, he was in the U16 zone." "When Arshdeep was in U16, I used to tell him how to bowl and take a run up. He still asks me which ball is better and how should I bowl to a batter and get swing. I feel very proud when I see Arshdeep doing what he is doing now." Speaking about the feeling of reconnecting with his friends on overseas soil, Arshdeep stated, "When you come to a foreign country and you see familiar faces, you can enjoy together. When I was young, I used to follow him a lot. His name is Jagjit, all used to call him Punjabi. He was playing in the U19 zone and I was in the U16 zone." "I used to follow whatever he did. I learnt a lot from him. He still says that I remember the old days when I was young and new into the set-up. I just want to make more memories like this and collect them for my memory."

India Coach Pulls Off WWE Move On Arshdeep Singh Ahead Of 2nd Test. Pacer Explains Reason
As Team India prepare to play the second Test against England, a new ritual seems to have taken shape during their training sessions. In a light-hearted video shared by BCCI, bowling coach Morne Morkel was seen attempting a wrestling move on pacer Arshdeep Singh. Soon after, fellow pacer Akash Deep teamed up with Arshdeep to perform their own wrestling move on the former South African pacer. All smiles, Arshdeep explained exactly why Morkel had pulled off a wrestling stunt on him. "Morne said that once practice is over, I'll do the 'pin out' move on you to signal the end of the session," Arshdeep said, in the video shared by BCCI. The video showed Morkel rolling Arshdeep over and pinning him down, a move commonly seen in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). "This is his new way of calling off the day. That is what he was showing us today," Arshdeep explained. The video then showed Arshdeep and Akash Deep returning the favour to Morkel, taking down Morkel together. Akash Deep and Arshdeep are both in contention to feature for Team India during the five-match Test series against England, with at least one of them all set to be in India's playing XI in the second Test at Edgbaston. Team India are set to rest pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test as part of his workload management. As a result, a spot has opened up in the pace attack for the second Test. As per journalists present in England, Akash Deep had a full-fledged session just two days ahead of the match, hinting that he could be the one to take Bumrah's spot. Akash Deep has played seven Test matches so far in his career, taking 15 wickets. His last appearance came in the Boxing Day Test against Australia in December 2024. Arshdeep, on the other hand, is yet to make his Test debut. The 26-year-old is India's highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket, and has been included in India's Test scheme for the first time in this tour. "He (Bumrah) is available for the game, obviously. We know from the start he's only going to play three out of the five. He's had eight days to recover from the last Test. But given conditions, workload, and how we think we can best manage for the next four games, we haven't made a call on that," said assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate in a press conference ahead of the second Test. "We're going to see what the other guys are doing with their workload as well. So technically, yes, he's available. But we haven't made a decision on whether he's going to play or not yet," ten Doeschate said to reporters in the press conference on Monday.

Watch: Morne Morkel Caught Wrestling With India Bowlers, Arshdeep Singh Reveals Why
Last Updated: Men's bowling coach Morne Morkel was caught 'wrestling' and sitting on Arshdeep Singh during India's net session. The left-arm pacer has revealed why. Men's bowling coach Morne Morkel has been wrestling with Indian bowlers, trying to 'pin them out' to mark the end of a session, pacer Arshdeep Singh revealed on Monday. In the video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on its social media handles, Morkel was seen catching Arshdeep by surprise to squeeze him between his legs. The coach then showed a few other moves, including sitting over the left-arm pacer to pin him down. It ended with both Arshdeep and Akash Deep overpowering him together, leaving the South African helpless. Watch it here: Explaining the idea behind the new activity, Arshdeep said in the video: 'Morne has told us that, 'As soon as your session is over, I'll make the last move, pin you out, and then there will be no practice'. He has found this new way, that's what he was showing today." Morne Morkel's big job Mohammed Siraj, suffering from extreme workload and inconsistency, hasn't been able to step up when needed, while the likes of Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna aren't offering much either. With reports floating around about Bumrah possibly getting a rest, there's a good chance both Akash and Arshdeep get a look-in for the second game in Birmingham, which will make for an interesting dynamic. Akash has already played for India and the conditions in England should support him but he'll be tested if the home batters go after him with their typical agressive intent. Arshdeep, on the other hand, would be much better prepared to tackle with such agression given his experience in the IPL but he's yet to play Test cricket for India and his stamina and skill in days cricket is still uncertain.
