Jasprit Bumrah first Test rest : ‘India vs England will not play Jaspreet Bumrah in the first Test XI!’ Former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg suggested that Shubhman Gill and Gautam Gambhir surprised.
There is already a lot of discussion on how Jasprit Bumrah will be used in the upcoming England tour. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar has made it clear that Bumrah will not be played in every match. In fact, team management will give special importance to Bumrah’s workload management. In this context, former Australian cricketer Brad Hog has given a wonderful suggestion. He told RevSportz that Bumrah would be strategically better to use Bumrah in the first Test.
Brad Hogg said, ‘These three Tests have to be very tactful. Where will Bumrah play the most profit? Because he has the ability to turn a match and series. So he must play at Lords and perhaps in Warwickshire. ‘
He added, ‘I would say I will not play him in the first Test. I would say, ‘Okay, England, we do not have Bumrah in our squad.’ Then England will think, ‘Well, no Bumrah, don’t have to face.’ But if Bumrah was taken down in the second Test and turned the match, England would suddenly fall behind. They will be stressed on them. That’s how I will play a mental game. ‘
With this series, Shubman Gill is about to start his journey as the new Test captain of India. The five -match series will begin on June 23. Gill said that no pressure was given on him by head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, but they wanted him to lead himself, not to do anything that is not natural.
Rohit Sharma retired from the Test, Gill was the 7th Test captain of India. He batted at the opener and number three in the Test. India’s World Test Championship (WTC) will begin with his first series as captain. His vice-captain will be the wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant.
