India`s preparations for the pivotal fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy suffered a minor setback on Thursday as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh sustained a hand injury during a practice session in Beckenham. This comes just days before the must-win Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester, scheduled from July 23 to 27.

Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed the injury during a media interaction, providing clarity on the nature of the issue. "He took a ball, while he was bowling there, the side of the ball; he tried to stop the ball. It`s just a cut, so we have to see how bad the cut is. Obviously, the medical team is taking him to see a doctor, and if he needs stitches, that is going to be important to our planning for the next few days," he said.
