DRS, 31 de julho: O treinador deixa o KKR para LSG, Ind vs Pak Match em WCL cancelado e sem Kuldeep Yadav no Oval?

Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the Oval Test. Shubman Gill has hinted towards what India’s Playing XI could look like. In the other match in England, the India vs Pakistan semifinals in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 have been cancelled. There won’t be an India vs Pakistan match in the Olympics either. In IPL news, LSG has a new bowling coach. Lastly, Sourav Ganguly will return as an administrator soon.

Gill gives India Playing XI hints

Shubman Gill hasn’t ruled out the possibility of Jasprit Bumrah playing at the Oval. If the pitch is green, he might just play. The Indian captain said that Arshdeep Singh has been told to be ready, which suggests he might make his Test debut. Lastly, he pointed out that England isn’t playing a spinner, while India has Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. This perhaps means that Kuldeep Yadav won’t play.

Ben Stokes out of Oval Test

Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the Oval Test due to a right shoulder injury. The England Test captain has been replaced with Jamie Overton. England has made 3 more changes as well. Stokes indirectly blamed the scheduling of the India vs England Test for his injury.

LSG’s bowling coach for IPL 2026

LSG has roped in Bharat Arun as their bowling coach ahead of IPL 2026. Part of KKR since 2022, the former Indian bowling coach has reportedly signed a 2-year deal with LSG. This move could mean that Zaheer Khan, who was LSG mentor, may not continue in the role going ahead.
