IND vs ENG: Despite consecutive defeats, captain Shreyas Iyer-Sanju Samson missing from practice, is this the reason?

The third T20 match between India and England will be played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. It is important for Team India to win this match because if it loses then it will not be able to win the series. However, even before this match, Team India captain Shreyas Iyer and wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson did not come for practice. According to the report of Indian journalists present in Nottingham, both these players did not reach the ground for practice. It is possible that both of them have decided to take rest.

Why are Shreyas Iyer-Sanju Samson missing?

The players of the Indian cricket team reached the ground in Nottingham in the afternoon. As soon as Team India’s bus reached Trent Bridge, all the Indian players came out one by one and Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson were not in that bus. The question is whether these two players will not play in the third T20? In the last match, Sanju Samson was dropped and Vaibhav Suryavanshi was given a chance. Whereas Shreyas Iyer was injured while fielding in the last match, he was not completely fit. Is Shreyas Iyer not fit yet? Is that why he didn’t come for practice? If Shreyas Iyer does not play the third T20, it will be a big blow for Team India because he has batted well in the last two matches.

Team India is in big trouble

Team India is in big trouble. After losing the T20 series against Ireland, now it is on the verge of losing the T20 series against England also. Also, the middle order of Team India is not performing well. In the last match, the bowlers disappointed a lot as they could not save the score of 190 runs. Now it remains to be seen what will happen in Trent Bridge. Team India’s record on this ground is not good. She has won two out of four matches and lost two. In the match against England in the year 2022, Team India could not chase the score of 216 runs. In that match, Suryakumar Yadav had scored a brilliant 117 runs but no other batsman could support him.

No change in England team

There has been no change in the England team. Only the playing eleven playing in Manchester T20 will enter Trent Bridge.

England’s playing eleven- Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethall, Tom Banton, Will Jacques, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tong and Adil Rashid.
