During a net session in Birmingham, a video surfaced showing Indian pacers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep playfully wrestling with bowling coach Morne Morkel. Arshdeep explained that Morkel initiated the wrestling as a fun way to conclude practice sessions.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is on the verge of breaking Sunil Gavaskar's 49-year-old record to become the fastest Indian to reach 2000 Test runs. He needs just 97 runs in the upcoming Edgbaston Test against England to surpass Gavaskar, who achieved the milestone in 23 Tests. Jaiswal's recent century in Leeds has fueled anticipation for this historic feat.

India's Harshit Rana has been released from the Test squad before the second match against England. This decision follows after India's loss at Headingley, despite their impressive 835 runs and five centuries. England's remarkable chase of 371, led by Ben Duckett's 149, secured a five-wicket victory. India aims to level the series in the upcoming Edgbaston Test on July 2.
