ENGvsIND: England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced England?s squad for the third test match scheduled to be held in Headingley Leeds. The cricket board has dropped underperforming Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley from the English top order.



Virat Kohli led India crunched England in the second test match at Lords on day five after the first match ended in a draw due to timely showers. With the win in the second game, India went 1-nil up in the five-match test series.



The third test between India and England will begin on 25 August at Headingley Leeds.



Sibley managed 11 and a duck in the two innings of the second test match while 18 and 28 in the first test match. Zak Crawley who was dropped off in the second test managed to score 27 and 6 runs in two innings of the first test match at Trent Bridge.

Dawid Malan has been named in the English squad for the third test match as England looks to bolster the top order.?

Malan is likely to play the third test at Leeds. The 33 years old amassed a brilliant 199 in a first-class match recently against Sussex and Headingley is also his home ground.



Haseeb Hameed, who replaced Zak Crawley in the second test, managed a duck and 9 in the second test match. He has been retained in the squad by the ECB.



In the meantime, pacer Saqib Mahmood has been called as England is doubtful for Mark Wood, who sustained a shoulder injury during the second test. Wood scalped five wickets in the entire test at Lords.



Wood?s injury will be a worrying sign for the England management as the team has already lost the likes of Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes due to their respective injuries.

ENGvsIND: England?s squad for third test match in Headingley against India revealed

englands-squad-for-third-test-match-in-headingley-against-india-revealed

England Vs India 3rd Test Preview: Following the eventful affair at the Home of Cricket Lords, team India would look further to stamp its authority over England in the upcoming third test match at Headingley Leeds. The opening test match ended in a draw as the rain played spoilsport, however, India made a complete turnaround in the second match. The visitors are currently leading the five matches test series by 1-0 after two matches.



While India will be confident enough to lengthen the lead in the third test, Joe Root led England will be hoping to level the series by thrashing India in the Leeds test match.



There is a lot going around both teams right now. England has earlier suffered another blow after Mark Wood was ruled out for the third test match. The hosts are now left with limited opportunities among pacers.



Virat Kohli and the Indian management on the other hand will somehow have to find a way to fit Ravichandran Ashwin in the playing 11 of the third test match. Ashwin warmed the bench in the opening two Test matches, however, the spinner is highly unlikely to be seated out of the regular playing 11. Moreover, all-rounder, Shardul Thakur is also available for the selection in the third test match.

With the visitors winning the second test match at the ?Mecca? of cricket, ?Lords?, all eyes were set on how India performs in the upcoming test match. Turns out the squad has had a tough time getting through the English bowlers. India was bowled out for 78 runs itself in their first innings of the 3rd&nbsp;test. It was an absolutely clinical performance by the English pacers, which was hard to bear for the Indians. The pain was then piled on by the English openers who went on to score 130 glorious runs at the end of the day?s play. Here?s a look at how the day panned out: -&nbsp;



<h2>1st&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The entire day belonged to England and so did the first session. In the first over of the innings itself, KL Rahul nicked the ball through to the keeper. It was off Jimmy Anderson and Jos Butler to a comfortable catch. Next in was Pujara. Pujara had a stage set but again failed to make a mark scoring 1 run of 9 balls. When Pujara went off similarly as Rahul, the scorecard read 2-2. King Kohli walked in, but much to the dismay of Indian fans Kohli too departed! Next in was Jinx, the deputy captain. Having shown some form in the previous innings, the fans expected Rohit and Jinx, the Mumbai duo to fire. But it was not the case. Ajinkya tried to build the partnership, not before Ollie Robinson took him out! Lunch was called at Rahane?s wicket.?



<h2>2nd&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The second session too was bossed by the Brits. At the very beginning of the session, Ollie Robinson took the wicket of the last recognized batsman Rishabh Pant. Rishabh was caught in the slips slashing hard to a ball outside off stump. His game mindset was questioned after it was seen that Rishabh had thrown his wicket away. Next in was Sir Jadeja. But by then the tide was over the head. Before Jadeja could find the very middle of the bat, England struck the final nail in the coffin. Rohit Sharma, the resilient opener was sent back. And then, the 37th?and 38th?over derailed the entire Indian innings. Sam Curran and Craig Overton cleaned up the Indian tail within a matter of the above-mentioned overs. 78 all out!! It was hard to believe but this had happened.? English openers then came in to bat.??



The English openers boosted with confidence showed intent and application right from the front. They were helped a bit by the Indian Bowlers spraying the ball around but it doesn?t overshadow the fact that they played very well.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/cricket-t2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-68762" /><figcaption>Hameed and Burns piled on the pain of the Indians!!</figcaption></figure>



<h2>3rd&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The 3rd?session belonged to the English openers. Burns and Hameed were at their A-game. They very well tackled the Indian quadrat. Be it Siraj, Shami,?Bumrah,?or Ishant, the openers played well. The illustrious cover drives were a treat to watch. Rory Burns was initially aggressive but then turned passive. With this, the day ended with England on 120-0. How the Indian Bowlers are going to make a comeback today is the big question? But with the kind of character that Indians have shown in recent times, I?m sure they?ll bounce back!!?

India vs England 3rd test: England annihilates India to take full control on 1st day itself.!!

ENGvsIND: Former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan lauds the England captain Joe Root for his above sensational stuff in the third Headingley Test Match while analysing the match as it went on day two. Root reflected tremendously after a terrible loss at the Lord?s cricket ground and smashed his third century of the series, in as many matches.&nbsp;



England managed to extend their massive lead to 354 runs on day three after bundling out India for a poor 78 runs score in the first innings. As of now, India has scored 39 runs in the loss of one wicket in their second innings as session two of day three commenced.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1431226023580942340
</div></figure>



Zaheer Khan scanning England?s inning at the stumps on day 2 said that it was crucial for the England captain to inspire his troops after the loss in the previous test match.



"It is very important for a leader, especially when his team is down and trailing, to motivate his teammates, inspire them to play good cricket, and come back in the series. So, Root showed all these qualities and also showed his vigor," Zaheer said <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-videos/47844/cricbuzz-chatter-eng-v-ind-3rd-test-day-2-stumps-review">during a discussion on Cricbuzz</a>.



Root cooped a strong criticism after his tactical failure on the final day of the Lord?s test which resulted in India getting that win. England riding on the emotions after a few heated arguments with Indian cricketers went on to lose the second test match which at times looked evenly poised and even in the hands of the hosts.

"It is not easy (to perform like this) after receiving the kind of criticism he received for his captaincy after the Lord's Test. He used the break very well and maintained his form with the bat. Sometimes, when this sort of thing happens (criticism after Lord's Test), it affects your batting too. Instead, he polished his batting further.



"The way the match started and the first day played out and the way (James) Anderson and the bowlers performed so well to bundle out India cheaply, he would have definitely benefitted from it. Let's not forget the opening stand. In this innings, he batted more freely and was playing his shots more often. The fact that he is well-versed with this ground was also an added advantage," explained Zaheer.



The England skipper structured his innings well right from the start as he looked positive and believed his instincts. The batter absorbed all the pressure by playing sensible strokes which fetched him good runs.&nbsp;

https://twitter.com/englandcricket/status/1430917474116112386
</div></figure>



"It looked like he had made up his mind that he will be positive. He had to curb his instincts, absorb the pressure and play accordingly till now. So, he would definitely have enjoyed this on the back of the great form and a great platform," opined Zaheer.

IND vs ENG: After having enough discourses among the fans and cricket experts as to whether the Indian management should consider resting Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming 3rd Test match against England, recent reports have indicated that the BCCI may not necessarily rest the ace pacer for the Rajkot Test. However there are still many possibilities as the selection of India's squad is yet to be done, which is expected to be concluded in a day's time.



As per the reports, Jasprit Bumrah, who has been on the roll since December 26, 2023, is likely to be rested for the 3rd India vs England test, which is scheduled to be held in Rajkot, starting February 15. However, these reports took a U-turn as they indicated that due to the nature of the surface in Rajkot, which offers substantially more to the pacers, the BCCI might not rest Jasprit Bumrah.



Along with not resting Jasprit Bumrah for the test, these reports also pointed out that Mohammad Siraj could be brought back into the side and paired alongside Bumrah for the fixture.



The surface in Rajkot's Saurashtra Cricket Stadium has historically aided pacers more than the spinners. Due to the nature of the surface, the team may retain Jasprit Bumrah for the third test and his workload will be managed afterwards as the five-match test series head to Ranchi and Dharmshala.



So far, Bumrah has bowled close to 60 overs in the first two tests against England in Hyderabad and Vishakhapatnam. Only R Ashwin has bowled more than Bumrah (80). Moreover, he has been the top wicket-taker for the team with 15 wickets at an exceptional average of 10. 



Keeping in mind the impact he makes, it would be challenging for the Indian leadership to bench him for a game. Much of that would be made clear once the <a href="https://bcci.tv">BCCI</a> announce India's Test Squad for the last 3 test matches.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: KL Rahul to be fit for 3rd India vs England Test</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/KL-Rahul-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah to PLAY 3rd India vs England Test, India's Test Squad Selection in a day " class="wp-image-125743" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI.tv</figcaption></figure>



In some positive news from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul is likely to be cleared to play the third test in Rajkot. Rahul, who suffered a right quadriceps injury during the first test, was ruled out of the 2nd test in Vishakhapatnam. The batter went to the NCA to treat his injury and is now likely to be available for the remainder of the test series.



Meanwhile, the selection of Ravindra Jadeja hinges on the assessment of his hamstring by the medical team at the NCA. Notably, Ravindra Jadeja too suffered injury during the first test and was immediately withdrawn from the 2nd game of the series.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah to PLAY 3rd India vs England Test, India's Test Squad Selection in a day

ind-vs-eng-jasprit-bumrah-to-play-3rd-india-vs-england-test-indias-test-squad-selection-in-a-day

IND vs ENG: India's Expected Squad for next 3 Tests India vs England: The All India Senior Selection Committee led by Ajit Agarkar is scheduled to announce India's squad for the next 3 India vs England tests on Friday. While there has been a significant delay in the announcement, the reports suggest that the Indian squad is likely to be named on Friday i.e., February 09.



Along with the selection panel consisting of five individuals, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid will also be present during the selection meeting. 



The delay in the announcement of the squad announcement is reportedly due to non-clarity over the fitness of ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). After copping a blow to his hamstring in the first test, Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the 2nd fixture of the series in Vishakhapatnam.



Now, though, the all-rounder seems to have recovered nicely at the NCA, his availability for the next few games will depend on how he performs in his fitness test.



Meanwhile, KL Rahul, who was also ruled out of the 2nd India vs England Test due quadriceps tear during the 1st test, is deemed fit to play the upcoming test matches. The wicketkeeper batter is expected to make a comeback to the Indian side.



The selection meeting isn't going to be a cakewalk for the involved individuals as there are many things to look into, fitness of the players is one of them.



The other question will be the availability of Virat Kohli, who hasn't yet played a single test in the ongoing series against England. Earlier, Kohli made himself unavailable for the first two test matches, but now it seems that the maestro batter will keep himself away from the entire test series due to personal reasons.



Let's now take a look at <a href="https://bcci.tv">India's</a> expected squad for the next 3 tests India vs England:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: India's Expected Squad India vs England Test</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/IND-vs-ENG-2nd-Test-Day-2-Stumps-England-All-Out-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG: NO Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Here is India's expected Squad for next 3 Tests India vs England" class="wp-image-126098" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Day 2 Stumps, England All Out at 253/10, India at 28/0 | Image Credit: X.com(@BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Shreyas Iyer, after his multiple failures, is likely to get an axe from the Indian test squad. Reports emerged that the middle-order batter has been asked to hit the domestics once again and subsequently make a place for himself in the Indian squad. 



The likes of Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah will be present in the upcoming tests. Earlier there were doubts about Jasprit Bumrah's workload management. However, the pacer is expected to play in the third test in Rajkot. He will be paired alongside Mohammad Siraj.



The Indian management is unlikely to make any changes in the wicketkeeping department. Srikar Bharat is likely to keep the wickets, despite his failures. 



The rest of the squad will remain the same for the upcoming three tests against England.



India's Expected Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (c), Rajat Patidar, Srikar Bharat (wk), Shubman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Mukesh Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Saurabh Kumar, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul

IND vs ENG: Halfway through the ongoing India vs England five-match test series, the visitors, England have found themselves in a troubling state, after their star player, Jack Leach has been ruled out. The update was confirmed on Sunday (February 11) by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).



Senior spinner Jack Leach, who was carrying a knee injury, will now no longer participate in the remaining India vs England test series. He suffered a knee blow during the first IND vs ENG test which was held in Hyderabad. The spinner charged towards the ball in an attempt to save a boundary, and ended up ramming into the ground. 



Leach didn't turn up to bowl a lot in the first innings. He bowled 26 overs in the first innings, while just 10 in the second innings. The spinner was subsequently ruled out of the second IND vs ENG test held in Vishakhapatnam.



As of now, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) hasn't announced any replacement for Jack Leach. 



A statement from the ECB stated that Jack Leach will return home from Abu Dhabi, where the English contingent is currently staying during the extended break between 2nd and 3rd test matches.



?Leach will work closely with the England and Somerset medical teams in respect of his rehabilitation,? the statement from <a href="https://www.ecb.co.uk/">ECB</a> added.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/englandcricket/status/1756603492553064882
</div></figure>



With Jack Leach out of the India tour, England are left with Joe Root as the only experienced spinner in the side, alongside the likes of Rehan Ahmed, Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley, who have only played a handful of red-ball games.



It's noteworthy that the next India vs England assignment is scheduled to be held in Rajkot, where the surface usually provides more assistance to the seamers as compared to the spinners. So not having Jack Leach won't be a large issue for England.



Moreover, the likes of Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir have been fantastic so far. Hartley has scalped 14 wickets in two IND vs ENG test matches while Rehan Ahmed has picked 8. Shoaib Bashir in his solitary appearance has got 4 wickets to his name.



The India vs England five-match test series is currently levelled at 1-1 after team India managed to turn the table in the second game held in Vishakhapatnam. India defeated England by 106 runs in the second game after going down in the opening fixture by 28 runs.



The IND vs ENG 3rd Test is slated to be held in Rajkot's Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, starting February 15.



England Squad Updated: Ben Stokes (c), Ollie Pope, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, Rehan Ahmed, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Shoaib Bashir, Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Mark Wood.

IND vs ENG: Huge Injury Problem for England as Star Player gets RULED OUT of India vs England Test Series

ind-vs-eng-huge-injury-problem-for-england-as-star-player-gets-ruled-out-of-india-vs-england-test-series

IND vs ENG: England spinner Rehan Ahmed STOPPED at Rajkot Airport: After Shoaib Bashir's Visa issue, which took a while to get resolved, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was again caught off-guard by the Indian Immigration Officials who stopped spinner Rehan Ahmed with an invalid Visa. The incident took place at the Rajkot Airport where Rehan Ahmed arrived with a single entry visa.



It is noteworthy that England's India-bound contingent landed in Rajkot after enjoying their 10-day break in Abu Dhabi between the second and third India vs England test matches. 



After the completion of the second test in Vishakhapatnam, England boarded a plane to Abu Dhabi to enjoy a short break, before they arrived back in India for the 3rd IND vs ENG test, which will be held in Rajkot's Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.



While all the other members of the England contingent had valid visas, Rehan Ahmed possessed an incorrect visa. A person with a single-entry visa is not allowed to exit and re-enter the country.



A BCCI official confirmed that, though all the players have been allowed to enter the country, the team will have to process the visa formalities again.



?The England team has been advised to process the visa again which will be happening in the next two days. The player was allowed to enter the country with the rest of the team and he will be appearing in practice on Tuesday,? a <a href="https://bcci.tv">BCCI</a> official said.



Interestingly, this is the first instance when an international flight has been directly landed at Rajkot Airport. The 31-men English contingent boarded a charter plane to land directly at the Rajkot Airport, for which a temporary immigration centre was also opened.



Rehan Ahmed has been decent so far in the two India vs England test outings. The young spinner scalped two wickets in the first test in Hyderabad while he returned with six wickets to his name in the second test which was held in Vishakhapatnam.



India and England will engage in the third of the five-match test series starting on February 15. The fixture will be held at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. 



With the five-match series levelled at 1-1, both sides will eye getting an upper hand as soon as possible. England got better of India in the Hyderabad Test, and the Indians returned with favour with a big win in the second test in Vishakhapatnam.



It now remains to be seen how the two sides perform in the third test, which may set the tone for the last two games as well.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Dream11 Prediction: A week-long break for Team India and England comes to an end as both teams gear up for an exciting 3rd test of the ongoing five-match series. The two sides will lock horns with each other at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot for the 3rd IND vs ENG Test, which starts on February 15. 



The scoreline for the series so far has been 1-1 after two matches in Hyderabad and Vishakhapatnam. England thumped India early in the series with a win in the first test, however, Team India made a brilliant turn-around in the second game by winning it by a massive margin.



Ahead of the third game, Team India have suffered a blow in the form of KL Rahul, who has been again ruled out of the 3rd test. The BCCI has named Devdutt Padikkal as his replacement for the time being.



In another unavailability news, Virat Kohli continues to remain away from the test series. The veteran batter has informed that he won't take part in the remainder of the IND vs ENG test series due to personal reasons.



On the other side, England have suffered a blow with the injury to senior spinner Jack Leach. The spinner was adjudged not fit for India vs England's remaining test matches after he copped a knee injury during 1st test.

Expect plenty of runs on this surface. With a flat pitch, it is going to be a complete run-fest. Though, earlier it was said that the surface tends to favour pacers, it doesn't seem like one. Over the course of the game, the surface will have its natural wear and tears which will bring spinners into action.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Indian captain Rohit Sharma seemingly lost his cool after a horrible mix-up between Ravindra Jadeja and Sarfaraz Khan got the latter batter out on his debut innings. Rohit Sharma expressed his frustration, as Mark Wood inflicted a brilliant run out to break the threatening partnership towards the end of day 1 of the ongoing IND vs ENG 3rd test.



Sarfaraz Khan's impressing out at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot was cut short by Ravindra Jadeja, whose blunder made the debutant sacrifice his wicket. 



The incident happened in the 82nd over when Ravindra Jadeja was batting at 99 runs. Jadeja drove the fifth delivery of the over towards mid-on, where Mark Wood was stationed. As soon as Jadeja drove the ball, he took a couple of steps to steal the run but, backed out and turned down the single. However, by then Sarfaraz Khan, who was at the non-striker's end, was well outside his crease and couldn't make it back to the popping crease as Wood threw the ball and uprooted the stumps.



Sarfaraz Khan's unfortunate dismissal left everyone in shock as the batter was having a brilliant outing in his debut game. Everyone, including his parents and supporters, was disappointed looking at how the debutant had to walk back. The reactions from the dressing room also came as soon as the run-out was inflicted by Mark Wood.



Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lost his cool in the dressing room, as seen in the video footage and was seen flinging his cap in disgust following the run-out.



The anguish of the captain can be seen in the video down below:

Notably, Ravindra Jadeja, who was batting beautifully till then went into the shell when he came close to his 90s. The all-rounder, though, took 200 balls to score his 4th test ton, he almost took an age to complete the last 10 runs of the three-figure milestone. 



The famous sword celebration of Jadeja was seen as he completed the last run for his century, but Sarfaraz's wicket took off its sheen. Nevertheless, credit where it's due. 



After coming to bat when the team was in danger of another collapse, Jadeja went on to stitch a 200-run partnership with captain Rohit Sharma. The two batters ensured that the team get into a comfortable position before any more wickets fall.

Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja took India's overall score to 237/4, at the time when the captain lost his wicket to Mark Wood. Rohit played a brilliant knock of 131 runs in 196 deliveries which involved 14 boundaries and 3 sixes. 



After Rohit Sharma's wicket, debutant Sarfaraz Khan entered the bull ring and looked solid right from the word go. In no time Sarfaraz Khan completed his half-century and was aggressively advancing for another milestone. However, the batter had to sacrifice his wicket at a score of 62 runs in 66 deliveries.
