ndia are likely to make one change for the crucial fourth Test against England starting July 23 at Old Trafford, with Karun Nair expected to be replaced by young Sai Sudharsan. Nair, who returned to the Test side after eight years, has failed to make a strong impact, getting starts but not converting them into big scores.
His struggles at number three, particularly against deliveries that bounce from a length, have concerned the team management. His dismissal in the second innings at Lord’s, where he left an incoming ball from Brydon Carse, highlighted issues with his judgment.
With India trailing 1-2 in the series and needing a win to stay alive, the selectors are leaning towards the 23-year-old Sudharsan. Despite a decent debut, he was earlier dropped to adjust the team combination. Now, with pressure mounting, the management may look to back fresh talent.
