India are currently reeling on the back of a heartbreaking loss to England in the third Test of the five-match series at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. They are now trailing in the series by a margin of 1-2. India next play England in the fourth match of the series from July 23 (Wednesday) at Old Trafford in Manchester. This is a must-win game for India, as a win would help them come back in the series to level it, whereas a loss would mean they England would seal the series with a match in hand. Fans would be worrying over the availability of Jasprit Bumrah, given his workload management issues.
According to a report by Sky Sports, Jasprit Bumrah is all set to play in the fourth Test between India and England at Manchester. Prior to the start of the series, Bumrah had confirmed that he would play only three matches of the five-match series owing to managing his workload. He did not play the second match of the series at Birmingham.
Jasprit Bumrah has been in great form throughout the series. He picked up a five-wicket haul in the first innings of the first game. In the Lord's Test, Bumrah picked up 7 wickets, including a five-fer in the first innings. With 12 wickets from 2 games, Bumrah will be a handy asset to have in the fourth game as well.

Rishabh Pant Fit To Play Fourth Test

Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to his finger while keeping in the first innings of the Lord's Test. Hence, he could not don the gloves for the remainder of the match, with Dhruv Jurel taking his place. The Sky Sports report states that Pant is fit and available in the fourth Test.
After the defeat in the third Test, captain Shubman Gill also confirmed that Pant would be available in the Manchester Test.
"Rishabh went for scans. There is no major injury, so he should be fine for the fourth Test in Manchester," he added.
