Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been released from India’s XI for the fifth and final test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Oval in London. Fans and experts hoped that Arshdeep received his first call-up, but the team management opted for Prasad Krishna despite his poor outing.
Arshdeep was in controversy during the fourth test, but was hurt in hand during an exercise session. The fast bowler needed a stitches on his bowling hand, dropping him out of that game. Haryana’s Paer Anshul Kamboj was added to the Indian squad and made his debut in Old Trafford, Manchester.

In the toss, Captain Shubman Gill said that the pitch looked favorable for the bowlers and confirmed three changes to play. However, he forgot to mention the inclusion of the sky deep, which replaced Ansul Kamboj. Visitors made a total of four changes as they aim to level the series.
Meanwhile, England won the toss and chose Bowl, causing India’s unusual streak to damage 15 consecutive toss in men’s international cricket.
Arshdeep Singh was in a strong controversy to play fourth Test in Manchester

The bastard Gambhir has insulted Arshdeep Singh through the Champions Trophy by playing the role of Shami or Harshit Rana.
Anshul Kambhoj, who comes from India, is getting mid -series for the first time, but Arshdeep has to perform the entire series.

The fact is that none of Kuldeep Yadav or Arshdeep Singh have conducted a test, this is a series, given how poor India bowling is in this series.
Both quality bowlers and wickets#ENGVIND

Prasad playing the role of Krishna, who barely kill the deck and is incompatible, on a green pitch where Arshdeep Singh’s swing and seam would have been ideal. Gautam Gambhir .. This step goes wrong then it will be just the last straw. Incredible. Inaccurate. #INDVSENG #Bumrah
