Apart from Bumrah, the team consists of two more expert fast bowlers (Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh). Apart from these, medium pace all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is also an option.
Delhi: After the crushing defeat in the Leeds Test against England, the Indian cricket team has suffered another setback. It is reported that Jasprit Bumrah will not play in the second Test, which will start in Birmingham from July 2.
It is being claimed that sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have given this information to NDTV. In fact, before leaving for England tour, it was made clear that Bumrah would play only three Test matches out of five, so that his workload could be managed. Bumrah suffered a back injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, due to which he was out of the team for a long time.
However, now questions are beginning to arise whether Bumrah’s Test career will last long, as he is still not available for every match, while there is a good difference between matches. The first Test was played from 20 to 24 June, while the second match will start from July 2 i.e. there is a difference of one week between the two. Next, the third Test will be held from July 10 at Lord’s, then the fourth match will be held in Manchester from 23 July. The fifth and last Test will start from 31 July.
Meanwhile, former Indian opener Akash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Jaspreet Bumrah will not be available. It is not official, but maybe it is. He will not play another Test and return to the third Test. You think, when there is a difference of seven days between the two matches and still not playing. It is not a matter of serious concern. May fall. “
He further said, “The situation of Gautam Gambhir has also become complicated now. He has an old interview, in which he said, ‘I do not believe in workload management.’ Now that she is involved in important decisions, Bumrah is a very important player. ”
It is worth noting that apart from Bumrah, the team consists of two more expert fast bowlers (Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh). Apart from these, medium pace all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is also an option. In such a situation, there are indications that left -arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh can get a chance in the playing XI. However, it has not yet been officially confirmed.
Arshdeep has not made a Test debut yet, but he has experience of ODI and T20 International cricket. He is India’s most successful bowler in T20 format, whose names are 99 wickets in 63 matches.
