India's T20 World Cup Hero Set To Make Test Debut In England Series: Report

India's upcoming Test series against England is set to witness a significant transition, with left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh likely to earn his maiden Test call-up. The 26-year-old, known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, has impressed selectors with his performances in white-ball cricket and recent stints in county cricket. As India embarks on this challenging tour, Arshdeep's inclusion could bolster the pace attack, especially in English conditions that favor seam bowling. If selected, Arshdeep could add a much-needed left-arm angle to India's pace attack, complementing the likes of Bumrah and Siraj.

Top Three Hit Hundreds As England Run Riot Against Zimbabwe

England's top three of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope all made hundreds as they piled on the agony for a hapless Zimbabwe in a one-off four-day Test in Nottingham on Thursday.

That England almost made 500 runs in a day, allied to Pope's fourth score of over 150 at this level, emphasised the gulf between the sides in what is Zimbabwe's first Test in England in 22 years.
