Big changes have been confirmed in Team India’s squad for the fourth Test match in Manchester against England, scheduled to begin on July 23, 2025. The BCCI has officially announced the exclusion of two players due to injuries, while also confirming the inclusion of a new face in the squad.

Nitish Kumar Reddy Returns Home with Injury

All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remainder of the series after suffering an injury to his left knee. The BCCI stated that the injury has made him unfit for the last two Tests and that he has returned home for further treatment. The board also wished him a speedy recovery.

Arshdeep Singh Out of Manchester Test

In a separate development, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh will miss the fourth Test due to a thumb injury on his left hand, sustained during a training session in Beckinham. While not ruled out of the series entirely, he will remain under medical supervision and won’t be available for selection in Manchester.

Anshul Kamboj Joins Indian Squad

To fill the void, Anshul Kamboj has been added to the squad. The young pacer has joined the Indian contingent in Manchester and is likely to be a part of the backup pace battery for the crucial fourth Test.

Updated Team India Squad for Fourth Test:

• Shubman Gill (Captain)

• Rishabh Pant

• Yashasvi Jaiswal

• KL Rahul

• Sai Sudharsan

• Abhimanyu Easwaran

• Karun Nair

• Ravindra Jadeja

• Dhruv Jurel

• Washington Sundar

• Shardul Thakur

• Jasprit Bumrah

• Mohammad Siraj

• Prasidh Krishna

• Akash Deep

• Kuldeep Yadav

• Anshul Kamboj

With the series finely poised, the absence of two promising players may impact India’s depth, but the inclusion of fresh talent like Kamboj offers new opportunities as the team looks to finish strong in the final leg of the tour.
