Akashdeep did not bowl in the net session organized by the Indian team before leaving for Manchester.

24-year-old Anshul Kamboj has performed very well for some time now. He impressed everyone with his bowling in domestic cricket and also did well on India A’s recent tour of England. Anshul took five wickets in two matches against England Lions. At the same time, he also hit an unbeaten half-century in batting. Anshul, who plays domestic cricket for Haryana, has played 24 matches in first class and during this time has taken 79 wickets at an average of 22.88. He also has a 10-wicket haul to his name.
Let us tell you that there was a demand to include Anshul Kamboj in the Test team for a long time but he was not getting a chance. However, now he has entered Team India and it remains to be seen whether Anshul gets the debut cap in the remaining two Tests or not.
