Ajinkya Rahane is set to play his first Test in 18 months and a failure in the game could potentially be career-ending. India coach Rahul Dravid had a word of advice for the experienced batter. "Firstly it's good to have him. We've had a few injuries which have probably led to him having the opportunity to come back into the squad. Great for us to have someone of his quality back," Dravid said.
LONDON : England's lack of spin options may force them into rejigging their bowling attack for the Ashes series against Australia following Jack Leach's unavailability through injury, former England captain Mike Atherton said.

Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell believes that the Indian bowling attack will be an equal match-up for the Australian bowling line-up in the World Test Championship final.

With only four days left for the match, a lot of debate regarding the Playing XI has been going on, especially for the position of the wicketkeeper. As Rishabh Pant has been out of action since December, last year and KL Rahul has also been ruled out, the squad consists of Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat as the wicketkeeping options.
Star Australia batter Steve Smith on Monday expressed his concerns over the future of the five-day game ahead of the World Test Championship final against India beginning at The Oval on Wednesday.
