The Indian team are looking forward to making some changes going into the final Test, which will be played at The Oval. The iconic venue would probably see India giving their first caps to a few players in the series, while the availability of Jasprit Bumrah has once again been thrown into uncertainty.
As per the reports made by PTI, the debutant pacer Anshul Kamboj, who replaced Nitish Kumar Reddy in the squad and Akash Deep for the fourth Test in Manchester, is set to be replaced by fit-again Akash Deep for the final Test.
Considering a great show by the two Indian lower-order all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, the Indian team can now have some faith in their batting department and focus on the bowling deck, which looks disorganized and was bashed by the English batters at Manchester in a mammoth innings of 669 runs.
The report has also claimed that the Indian management thinks Jasprit Bumrah has bowled too many overs at Manchester and would likely be considered to be rested for the final Test. Also, he was less effective in the fourth Test.
The young left-handed pacer Arshdeep Singh has been reported to have recovered from his hand injury and might get a chance to feature in India's XI as a replacement for the World's no. 1 Test bowler, Jasprit Bumrah.
Though the Indian management and the head coach Gautam Gambhir had declared every pacer in the Indian squad to be fit after the draw at Manchester, they might consider some plans for resting either Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj, who has bowled even more overs than Jasprit Bumrah himself.
Bumrah has already played the pre-decided limit of 3 matches in the series; however, with the lagging scoreline, the decision might vary, but if it doesn't, Arshdeep Singh might be seen making his debut in London.
Kuldeep Yadav is likely to make his first appearance in the series
Kuldeep Yadav, who has not found a place in the side despite receiving backing from several greats of the game, is likely to get the opportunity to replace Shardul Thakur for the final Test.
Earlier, the Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel had claimed that Kuldeep is wanted in the XI but for him to be placed in the lineup, the top 6 batters need to be more convincing and trustworthy with their bowling.
