England's cricket team has announced a change in their playing XI for the fourth Test against India. All-rounder Liam Dawson will make a comeback to the Test arena after a gap of seven years, taking the place of Shoaib Bashir, who is sidelined due to an injury. Dawson, known for his spin bowling, is expected to provide additional depth to England's batting lineup and bowling options on a turning pitch. On the Indian side, the focus is on Anshul Kamboj, a 24-year-old fast bowler who might make his Test debut due to the team's injury concerns in the pace department. With players like Akaash Deep and Arshdeep Singh unavailable, India is considering Kamboj as a viable option alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, and Prasidh Krishna.
