4th Test: Akash Deep Handed Debut Cap, Ahmed Returns Home As England Opt To Bat First Vs India
JSCA International Stadium: Fast-bowler Akash Deep has been handed a Test debut by India as England won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium on Friday.
India are currently leading the five-game series 2-1 and need a win in Ranchi to take an unassailable lead. On the other hand, England must win at Ranchi if they are to force the series into a tantalising decider at Dharamshala.
Akash Deep, who’s been a consistent performer for Bengal and India ‘A’ in the red-ball format, was handed his maiden Test cap by head coach Rahul Dravid. He becomes the 313th men’s player to play Test cricket for India. Akash Deep’s debut comes after India opted to rest fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah from the Ranchi Test.
