Manchester weather to play a part in India's team-combination
It was a rainy welcome for the Indian team in Manchester on Saturday. As the players reached the city and remained confined to their hotel rooms, a small group of Indian fans gathered outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite cricketers. With the series on the line, the tickets for the fourth Test at Old Trafford are sold out, even though there is a forecast of rain — light to moderate — throughout. While India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate indicated that a decision on the playing XI will be taken after assessing the surface and the conditions, over the last few years, the Old Trafford pitch has been quite effective for wrist-spinners, as the ball has turned the most here among England's Test grounds. With former England captain Michael Atherton suggesting that India should bring in three spinners — Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar — in the XI and go with just two pacers, it needs to be seen whether the team management subscribes to the idea. 'The pitches haven't had the pace that they used to have. There are a couple of pitches in the end where there's zing, but in the middle, the televised pitches are just flat, flat, flat. Wrist spin goes well at Old Trafford in some circumstances,' Atherton told Sky Sports Cricket. The Indian team will have a closed-door training on Sunday afternoon, after quite a gap. A lot would also depend on how the weather holds up for the next few days. But if the windy and rainy conditions continue, chances are high that India will field an unchanged bowling line-up. With clarity awaited over the gravity of Arshdeep Singh's injury, there's plenty for the Indian think-tank to ponder.

‘We have to see how bad the cut is': India pacer injured ahead of Manchester Test, may need stitches
India suffered an injury scare ahead of the Manchester Test as star pacer cut his hand during practice and may need stitches. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate provided an update on the situation after the practice session on Thursday. read more Team India have been dealt another injury scare ahead of the crucial fourth Test against England in Manchester, starting July 23. India trail the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1-2 after a heartbreaking 22-run loss at Lord's and must win the next game to stay alive in the series. Arshdeep Singh suffers injury Young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh suffered a hand injury during net practice on Thursday, July 17. The uncapped Test bowler was reportedly in strong contention to make his debut in Manchester. According to assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, Arshdeep was hit by the ball during practice and cut his hand. 'He took a ball while he was bowling there. So he hit a ball, and he tried to stop it and it's just a cut. So we have to see how bad the cut is. Obviously, the medical team have taken him off to see a doctor and obviously, if he needs stitches or does he not, that will be important to our planning for the next few days,' Doeschate said.

Though far from generating the express pace of Jofra Archer, Morkel provided good practice to the batters. 'It's not a sort of direct practice machine for Jofra (laughs), but obviously Arsh going away there after he cut his hand and Akash not bowling today. 'Sometimes we run a bit thin and if we think the practice is good, someone rolling off 20 yards and a bit taller and shaping the new ball, it is good practice for the batters. They obviously like competing against Morne as well. But it's mainly about getting the batters the best practice for the Test match,' said Doeschate.

Jasprit Bumrah, on the other hand, did not have a bowl and neither did Mohammed Siraj as part of workload management.

India's assistant coach all but confirms Jasprit Bumrah will play 4th Test against England in Manchester
India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, on Thursday, all but ended the speculations around whether Jasprit Bumrah will play the fourth Test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against England. India are currently 1-2 down in the series, having lost the opener in Leeds last month and the third match at Lord's last Monday. Their only win came in Birmingham earlier this month. Rishabh Pant and teammate Jasprit Bumrah at The County Ground for a training session ahead of the fourth Test cricket match between India and England, in Beckenham(PTI) Before the Test series began, the BCCI had confirmed that Bumrah would feature in only three matches to manage his workload. Head coach Gautam Gambhir backed the plan, choosing to rest the pace spearhead for the second Test in Birmingham, despite growing calls to retain him after his sensational performance in the series opener at Leeds. In Bumrah's absence, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep rose to the occasion, each claiming a five-wicket haul as India clinched a dominant 336-run win to level the series. However, following India's 22-run defeat at Lord's in the third Test, experts once again called for Bumrah's inclusion in the do-or-die Test match at the Old Trafford, which will begin next week, and the team management paid heed to the request this time. Speaking to the media on Thursday after India's first training session for the fourth Test, Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed Bumrah's inclusion. "We'll make that call in Manchester. We know we've got him for one of the last two Tests. I think it's pretty obvious the series is on the line now in Manchester, so there will be a leaning towards playing him," he said. If India stay true to their word, this will be Bumrah's first appearance at the Old Trafford. India have yet to win a Test match in Manchester. In nine attempts at the venue thus far in history, they lost on four occasions to England, while five others ended in a draw. The last time India were due to play in Manchester, the match was cancelled after a Covid outbreak in their camp during the tour in 2021.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test Match Day 1: Shubman Gill & Co. face selection dilemma while targeting series equaliser
12:45 (IST) Jul 02 On Monday, India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, "Bumrah is ready to play. It's how we manage these four Tests. So if we feel like there's value in playing him in this Test, we'll make that call at the very last minute. I'm talking about weather, how the pitch is going to play, are we better off holding him back for Lord's and maybe Manchester or The Oval? So it's all those factors, but you've seen him train yesterday, he trained a little bit today. It's not like he's not fit to play. It's just trying to fit those puzzle pieces to get the most out of what we know we do have from him." "We also feel we can go 1-1 or keep the score at 1-0 without Jasprit, and then again, that's putting the eggs in the back end of the series," ten Doeschate said. "We're going to need him at some stage as well. You have got to decide when you're going to play your strongest suit. "And that's what I was talking about the weather and all that, but we feel that whatever we put out there, we can compete in this Test match, and you know, we came pretty close without Jasprit in the second innings when he didn't get any wickets, and you can't win the Test series with just one bowler in any case, and the bowlers are very well aware they need to chip in with wickets. Sorry, I can't give you a more firm answer, but we'll work out in the next 48 or 24 hours how we're going to manage Jasprit."

A spinner or two: India face selection conundrum in bid for comeback against England
BIRMINGHAM: India will need to shed their conservative selection approach and give themselves the best chance to take 20 wickets on what is expected to be another batting surface in the second Test against England, beginning here on Wednesday. By the team management's own admission, India missed a specialist bowler at Leeds, Kuldeep Yadav to be specific, as England comfortably chased down a record 371 on day five of a game that the visitors should have won. In the words of assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, India are grappling to find a team combination that doesn't compromise on batting depth and yet has the bowlers to take 20 wickets. "In terms of managing the strategy there, we're looking at each bowler individually, feeling what we feel they can get wickets-wise. And then it's just trying to balance up and trying to calculate as best you can what the best chance of getting into the Test match." Doeschate admitted. "But you need 20 wickets. So the attacking party is obviously finding someone who can get wickets as well. And we are grappling with that. We don't stop talking about that. We're trying to figure it out," he added. The weather has been rather hot in Birmingham and the surface, bound by a decent covering of grass, is dry underneath. On this very ground three years ago, England had gunned down a daunting 378 with ridiculous ease to draw the series. Of late, the same 22 yards have offered plenty of runs to the batters in county cricket. The spinners will eventually come into the game and India need to decide whether they want someone like Washington Sundar who can assist Ravindra Jadeja or get Kuldeep, who is a much better wicket-taking option. What is confirmed is that India will go in with two spinners.
