India are all set to take on England in the fourth Test of the five-match series at Old Trafford in Manchester. This is a must-win game for India, especially after they lost the third Test at Lord's and are currently trailing by a margin of 1-2. This means that a loss in the fourth Test will mean a series loss, even before the final Test is played. Before the do-or-die match is played, Team India have suffered a big injury blow to one of their brightest young stars.
According to a report by The Times of India, Arshdeep Singh was injured on his bowling hand during a practice session before the fourth Test at Manchester. This might be a blow to Arshdeep, who has been selected for his maiden Test Series. If Jasprit Bumrah does not play due to his workload management issues, then Arshdeep could have been a great choice to replace him. If both Bumrah and Arshdeep are not available then the only two choices to play the match are Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, both of whom have not performed well.

Will Jasprit Bumrah Play 4th Test?

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.
