The fourth test between England and India is played out in Old Trafford, Manchester. Being 1-2 in the five test series, visitors will be desperate to draw. However, they do not have an excellent record in tests on the site.
Of the nine games before the current match, India lost four with five results drawn. They did not win a match in Manchester. The first time they played a test here was in 1936, the last one (before the current match) in 2014. They lost with a round and 54 points in 2014.
For the current game, visitors have made three changes to the team. They brought back Sai Sudharsan and Shardul Thakur, the young stimulator Anshul Kamboj making his first appearance. Kamboj was called as a blanket with Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh injured.
That said, here is the full list of Indian cricket players who made their debut in the test at Old Trafford, Manchester.
# 1 ANSHUL KAMBOJ (2025)
As mentioned earlier, Ashhul Kamboj is the most recent Indian to make his debut in the test in Manchester. He was not part of the original team but was added before the fourth game. The 24 -year right stimulator has made giant progress.

# 8 Chandu Sarwate (1946)
