The Indian Cricket Team will have quite a few changes due to the latest injury to the players and also release some of them, including K.S Bharat and Shreyas Iyer, because of their bad performances.
Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are said to be making a debut in the next match for the Indian team, which can make or break for the team India as most of the squad members do not have the experience to play in International test cricket, but it will be a great chance for them.
Devdutt Padikkal and Akash Deep also got the maiden test call from Team India for the 3rd test against England as Rahul is ruled out of the 3rd test. Ravindra Jadeja will also be included in the team after missing out on the 2nd test match due to injury, but it is not going to be easy for him as he recently has been going through issues with his father, who said many things that shocked the world.

England Cricket Team will be looking to win the next match, but they are also in trouble as their lead spinner, Jack Leach, is out of the series due to injury. Still, they did well with their other optional spinner in the last match.
The England squad will be playing with the same squad, but there is a chance that Dan Lawrence can take the place of Shoaib Bashir, or it can be Ollie Robinson who can bat down the order for the team.

Team Preview Of India
India team is shaping up for the future generation as more new comments are coming into the squad. Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, and Padikal are some of the youngest-generation players who might make their debut in the series. However, Gill and Jaiswal.
Important players for the India Team in the match against England
1- Yashavi Jaiswal has been amazing with his batting performance in the last two matches, scoring 321 runs, including one double-century in the last match. He will be crucial for India to give them the upper hand against England.
2- Ravichandran Ashwin not had a good last match against England, in which he only took three wickets but scored 50+ runs. He needs to perform better in the next match if India wants to have a good chance.
3- Ravindra Jadeja will be back in the squad and will look to give the same performance that he did in the 1st match against England. He took five wickets and scored 89 runs.
Team Preview Of England
England will not change their playing 11, but if they want to, then they can give Ollie Robinson a chance, as he has been great for them in the test matches, especially against India.
Important players for the England Team in the match against India
1. Tom Hartley once again looks to play the crucial role for the England team in the next match, but his last match performance was not up to the mark like his debut match in which he took 9 wickets and also scored 57 runs but in the last match he took only five wickets but still scored 57 runs.
2. Ollie Pope will be looking to perform the same as he did in the first match of the series, but in the last match, he fell short and scored only 46 runs in both innings, but he also scored one of the best knocks in the first innings which is of 196.
3. Rehan Ahmed had a good last match, picking up 6 wickets and also contributed in the batting as a night watchman for the England team, but if he wants to fix his spot in the playing 11, he needs to perform better in the next match for them.
