IND vs ENG / If not Bumrah then who! This strong bowler may enter the playing eleven

IND vs ENG: It seems that India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not play the next Test match against England. This decision is part of his workload management. It was already decided that Bumrah would rest in two to three Test matches on the England tour. It is likely that he will miss the second Test in Birmingham, so that he is fresh for the third Test at Lord's. Bumrah would definitely like to play on a historic ground like Lord's, but this strategy is being adopted due to the short gap between consecutive Test matches.

Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna will be responsible

Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna led India's fast bowling in the first Test played in Leeds. Shardul Thakur got a chance as an all-rounder. However, there is a possibility of change in the Birmingham Test. Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are expected to play, but young fast bowler Akashdeep can be included in the playing XI in place of Bumrah.

Akashdeep may get a chance

Team India is currently practicing in Birmingham, and Akashdeep's bowling has caught everyone's attention there. He is consistently performing well in practice, due to which his chances of playing are strong. It is clear that Jasprit Bumrah is fully fit, and he is only being given rest. His return in the third Test is almost certain.

Shardul Thakur's place in danger

Shardul Thakur's performance in the Leeds Test did not live up to expectations. Neither his batting nor his bowling could do anything special. In such a situation, the team management can give a chance to young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy in his place. Nitish has shown his potential in recent performances, but it will be interesting to see his performance in the difficult conditions of England.
