Will Abhimanyu Easwaran Make His Test Debut in the 4th Match vs England?

The 4th Test of the 5 match Test series between India and England will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23. This match is very crucial for the Indian team. If India loses this match, they will also lose the Test series to England. So the Indian team needs to win the match and also level the series to stay in the contest. Another big blow can come to India in the form of the new cycle of the World Test Championship. If they lose one more match, they will also fall behind in the points table of this Test Championship.

The Indian team is preparing hard for this match. After losing the previous match by a narrow margin, the Indian team may make some big changes in the playing 11 for the next match. A big player may join the team.

This player is likely to be Abhimanyu Easwaran. Abhimanyu Easwaran may get a chance in the 4th Test. He has batted well in domestic cricket and scored a lot of runs. He has been with the Indian team since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy of 2024–25.

Many players have come into the Indian team after Abhimanyu Easwaran, who were given a chance in the playing 11 but Easwaran has not been given a chance in the playing 11 even once so far. An unofficial match was played between England Lions and India A recently. Abhimanyu Easwaran was the captain of the Indian team in those two matches and performed well. He scored half-centuries in both the matches. In the second match he played an important innings of 80 runs.

After that it was expected that Abhimanyu Easwaran would get a chance but that did not happen. He was not included in the playing 11 in the first three matches. But now he can get a chance in the 4th match. In the last few matches Sai Sudarsan and Karun Nair were given chances but both failed. Karun Nair has scored only 131 runs in six innings at an average of just 21.83.

So he can be rested in the 4th match and Abhimanyu Easwaran can get a chance in his place.
