Anshul in talks as Akash Deep`s injury puts Prasidh in frame

Akash Deep sat out of nets with a groin injury; fitness test didn’t go his way as Kamboj and Prasidh bowled full tilt during India’s first outdoor session

Arshdeep Singh, ruled out with a hand injury, stood beside Akash during training as India evaluated pace options for the crucial fourth Test

Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj was added to the main squad and impressed with intense spells in the nets, raising hopes of a surprise Test debut

Shardul Thakur batted and bowled in nets, likely to replace injured Nitish Reddy; Kamboj too had a brief hit

Rishabh Pant kept wickets and batted for over an hour pain-free, easing concerns after finger issues at Lord’s

Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair both had solid batting sessions; with Jaiswal back in slips, Sudharsan may replace Nair in the XI for the fourth Test
