Arshdeep Singh got ruled out of the fourth Test following the injury on his thumb during a training session as they were practicing in Beckenham. The BCCI announced that he has an impact injury on the left thumb, sustained during bowling in nets. He is being kept under supervision by the BCCI Medical Team.”

As the series stands in a very delicately balanced position, Kamboj should provide the Indian pace friction to make sure that the visitors win the crunch match at Old Trafford and remain in the fray.
