It is very important for the Indian cricket team to win the fifth Test, because even if this Test is drawn, England will win the series. This last Test of the series will be played at The Oval Cricket Ground in London. In this, many changes can be seen in the playing 11 of Shubman Gill and Team. Another bowler can get a chance in place of Jaspreet Bumrah. Earlier, former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has chosen his playing 11 team.

Wasim Jafar did not include Anshul Kamboj in his playing 11, who got a chance to debut in the fourth Test. He has included Arshdeep Singh in his team, who will be his debut test if he plays. He has also trusted Sai Sudarshan, who was dismissed in the first over without opening an account in the second innings of the fourth Test.
