India fields first against England, Shami replaces Arshdeep

In the third T20I match against England, India won the toss and opted to field, aiming to secure a series victory with a 3-0 lead. Suryakumar Yadav, India's captain, expressed confidence in the pitch conditions, while England's captain Jos Buttler acknowledged the need for his team to perform at their best. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah has been recognized as the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year 2024, following an impressive season where he was the leading wicket-taker in Test cricket with 71 wickets at an average of 14.92. Smriti Mandhana also received accolades as the Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year, marking her second such achievement. Bumrah's remarkable performance solidified his status as a key player for India, and speculation surrounds the fitness of fellow pacers Bumrah and Mohammed Shami for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra suggested that Mohammed Siraj could take a spot in the squad if either Bumrah or Shami remain unfit.
