Who receives the maiden India call-up for test against England?

A new pacer has been added to the Indian test cricket squad for the remaining 3 test series against the England cricket team. His name is Akash Deep, he has impressed selectors in an ongoing series of 4-day cricket against England Lions where he took 13 wickets.

After the conclusion of the second test, it was anticipated that the team for the third test would be announced and  The BCCI announced Team India’s squad for the remaining three Tests of the series against England, with Bengal pacer Akash Deep earning a spot to face Ben Stokes’ men. This inclusion marks a significant milestone for the 27-year-old, as Akash Deep got a maiden call-up to the Test team. He was the only new face in the Indian squad from the first two Tests, replacing Avesh Khan.

Akash Deep has been phenomenal for Ranji’s scenes, he plays for the Bengal Ranji team, and looking back last two seasons’ performance he got promoted to the India A cricket squad where he performed well and has attracted the attention of the selectors.

About  Akash Deep

He is a regular pace bowler for the Bengal Ranji team, Born on December 15, 1996, in Dehri, Bihar, Akash Deep was very passionate about cricket and it was evident from a young age. to fulfil his dream and follow his passion he moved to Bengal despite facing initial hurdles, he had no support from his father, but he remained steadfast in his pursuit of the sport. In 2010, he made the bold decision to leave his hometown and move to Bengal, where his uncle supported his passion  of becoming a cricketer.

After moving to Bengal Akash Deep’s talent and hard work eventually paid off, as he made a name for himself in the domestic circuit. His standout performances for India ‘A’ in the recent unofficial multiple-day series against England Lions, where he took 13 wickets, might have caught the attention of selectors, helping him earn a first call-up to the senior squad.

Akash Deep took 103 wickets in 29 first-class matches that included two Ranji Trophy finals, Deep has emerged as a reliable and skilful bowler. In the Indian Premier League, Akash Deep currently part of the Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore.

In current scenario it is little possible to include him in rest of test matches as Mohammed Siraj will share the bowl with Jasprit Bumrah as pace attack , so it is quite difficult to make his way to debut .

Avesh Khan will join Ranji Trophy

The Madhya Pradesh pacer had been part of the squad for the first two Tests but hasn’t played any test till now . The board released Avesh Khan to take part in the Ranji Trophy; however, according to media reports , the state side expected Avesh to be named in the Indian squad and hence didn’t select him for the match against Baroda (already underway since February 9).

Shreyas Iyer, who had batted at his No 4 spot in the first two Tests, was also not included for the remainder of the series after a poor run across the first two Tests. He also failed to get going in the two-Test series in South Africa, and speculations currently doing the rounds on social media paint a story of the Mumbai batter getting dropped from the side after a string of poor performances.
