Deepak Chahar has linked up with the Indian team at Lord’s a day prior to the upcoming third Test match against England, even though the Mumbai Indians cricketer is not a part of the travelling group. On Wednesday, July 9; Chahar was spotted training alongside several Indian players at the iconic venue.
As per several reports, he has joined the Indian team as a support player, much like how uncapped spinner Harpreet Brar was roped in by the management ahead of the second Test as spin support.

Incidentally, this is not the first time Team India has sought assistance from a player not part of the travelling group in England. Ahead of the second Test at Edgbaston late last month, the Indian team management invited spin bowler Harpreet Brar to assist the players.
Deepak Chahar, having played 13 ODIs and 25 T20I matches, has otherwise not been considered for national selection since December 2023.
