England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir ruled out of India Tests due to injury

England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir was on Monday ruled out of the remainder of the five-match series against India after he sustained a finger fracture during the third Test which the home side won by 22 runs at the Lord's here. The 21-year-old Bashir is scheduled to undergo a surgery later this week. "England men's spinner Shoaib Bashir has sustained a fracture to his left finger and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rothesay Test series against India. He is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week," England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement. "England will name their squad for the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford in the next couple of days," ECB said. Bashir sustained injury to his little finger of his left-hand on the third day of the Lord's Test while bowling to Ravindra Jadeja, who hit a powerful low drive straight back to the bowler. He bowled just 5.5 overs in India's second innings, but had the honour of ending the visiting side's run chase o

Vaughan says Gill lacked usual calmness and technical precision at Lord's

India skipper Shubman Gill didn't look as "technically tight" and lacked the usual calm when he came out to bat in the second innings of the third Test, said former England captain Michael Vaughan even as he praised the visitors' fighting spirit on the last day at Lord's. Gill has looked in great touch in the series, scoring a century in the first Test at Headingley and then breaking a plethora of records on way to a century and double ton in Birmingham, which India won by 336 runs. However, he could only manage 16 and 6 in the Lord's Test, which India lost by 22 runs despite a fight-back by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and the tail-enders. "When things got spicy on the third evening, I felt that brought the best out of England for the remainder of the game. Shubman Gill did not look as technically tight or calm as usual when he came out to bat on the fourth evening, but his team fought so hard on Monday in a fabulous Test," said Vaughan in his column in 'The Telegraph'. He said ...

Jofra Archer says Ganguly's Lord's celebration inspired his fiery spell

Sourav Ganguly's iconic shirt-swinging at the Lord's balcony after a famous win over England back in 2002 was Jofra Archer's inspiration to deliver the game-changing spell against India in the high-pressure third Test here, home skipper Ben Stokes has revealed. Ganguly had taken off his shirt to celebrate India's win in the high-voltage NatWest Trophy final and it remains one of the most dramatic moments in international cricket to this date. On Monday, an inspired Archer removed the dangerous Rishabh Pant with a peach before taking a return catch to dismiss Washington Sundar as India went down by 22 runs despite trying their best to recover from those body blows. "I just said to him this morning, 'you know what today is, don't you?' So he told me. 'You know that highlights package of India knocking off 300-odd back in the day with Ganguly (waving shirt).' "He (Archer) thought that was the World Cup final. He thought that was six years today," Stokes said after an energy-sapping ..

Jofra Archer says he's happy to silence critics and keyboard warriors

England pacer Jofra Archer is glad to have silenced the "keyboard warriors" who went after him during his long rehabilitation from multiple injury setbacks. Archer, featuring in his first Test since 2021, sparked India's collapse in the second innings of the third Test at Lord's. He dismissed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck before claiming the scalps of Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar to fashion England's 22-run win here on Monday. The 30-year-old has long been troubled by elbow and back injuries, and has played only white-ball cricket for England since 2021. "I guess I was a little bit emotional (after England's win). It was a long journey. I can't tell you the amount of keyboard warriors there have been for the last three or four years," Archer told 'Sky Sports' after playing a pivotal role in helping England take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. "It (comeback) was a long time coming, a lot of rehab, a lot of training but it's moments like this that make it all worth it

Shubman Gill says Pant's run-out turned the tide in narrow defeat

Shubman Gill was "extremely proud" of the fight that his team put up after being down and out but rued the absence of one fifty partnership and Rishabh Pant's first innings run-out in their 22-run defeat against England in the third Test at the Lord's. Ravindra Jadeja fought gamely with a dogged unbeaten 61 off 181 balls and nearly took India home with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj before the team got all out for 170. Extremely proud it was as close a Test match as it can get, played over five days and comes down to the last session. I was pretty confident of our chances with plenty of batting left. We needed a couple of 50-run partnerships but we weren't able to get that, Gill said during the post-match prize distribution ceremony. He did admit that had Pant not been run-out in the first innings, India could have got a 70 to 80-run lead and may not have to chase nearly 200 on a tricky fifth day track. Asked if players are putting too much emphasis on personal milestones as KL
