After the defeat in the headingley, Bumrah’s next test is under discussion. Ravi Shastri warned that if he did not play, India could be traveled 2–0. Kuldeep Yadav’s return to Edgbaston Test is possible.
Delhi: Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play only three matches in the ongoing 5 Test series in England to handle his workload. After India’s historic defeat in the headingley, the question arises whether Bumrah will play the next Test or leave it. Captain Shubman Gill and Coach Gautam Gambhir have not yet made it clear which three Tests Bumrah will play.
Bumrah can leave the next Test
Ravi Shastri said in a conversation on Sky Sports Cricket that Bumrah can leave the next Test i.e. the second Test in Edgebeston, Birmingham because he would definitely like to play in Lord’s. Shastri also warned that if the next Test loses India, the team may be 2–0 on reaching the Lord’s. So he suggested that Bumrah should play the next match.
India lost a chance
Shastri remembered India’s last few defeats. He said that India has lost 3–0 against New Zealand and also to Australia. He said that this England series is also very challenging and India did not take advantage of England’s injured bowling. Shastri believes that India will now have to win the next match to return. If this does not happen, the England team will dominate and India will come under pressure.
Kuldeep Yadav’s return possible
Edgbaston’s pitch is considered helpful to spinners. In such a situation, Team India can give Kuldeep Yadav a chance. This test can see more changes in the bowling lineup. According to Shastri, now the team will have to give a strong answer to England by bringing immediate changes in its strategy.
