On Sunday, July 20, 2025, fast bowler Anshul Kamboj joined the Indian men’s cricket team in Manchester ahead of their Test match against England. His first day with the squad included an unusual experience—taking part in a joint session with Manchester United ’s footballers at Old Trafford .
Kamboj was present as the Indian cricket team and Manchester United players mixed cricket and football activities during the football club’s post-match training. Anshul has quietly built his case over the years. With 79 wickets in 24 first-class games, and a recent five-wicket haul in India A’s red-ball tour, the pacer has shown discipline and consistency.
