The hosts are ahead 1-0 in the 5-match Test series between India and England. Team India had to face defeat in the Leeds Test. Now the second match of the series between the two teams will be played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. This match will start from July 2, for which the Indian team is preparing. Amidst all this, a shocking news has come out about the team’s star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah.
Gambhir did Bumrah out?
For the last few days, there are reports that Jaspreet Bumrah will not be part of the second match of the series. Team management is giving priority to their workload management. Now something like this has happened in Edgbaston, after which it is almost decided that Bumrah will not play in the second Test. According to media reports, a long conversation between Gambhir and Bumrah was seen during the practice session in Edgbaston, and after that it has been decided that Bumrah will be rested in the second Test.
Jasprit Bumrah did not even bowl during the practice session in Birmingham on Monday afternoon. On the other hand, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and the famous Krishna sweated on the field. For the second Test of Mohammad Siraj and the famous Krishna, there is a possibility of retaining his place in the playing XI. But in the first Test, Siraj and Krishna together took only 9 wickets, their economy rate was also more than 6. On the other hand, Akash Deep will be given a chance as a third fast bowler or Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to debut in Tests.
There were 5 wickets in the first Test
Let me tell you, in the first Test, Bumrah performed brilliantly and took five wickets in the first innings, but in the second innings he could not take any wicket. Despite this, his bowling was the strongest weapon for India. However, head coach Gautam Gambhir had already made it clear that Bumrah would not play all five Tests of this series and his services will be taken in only three Tests. In such a situation, it is considered a sign of this time not to practice Bumrah that he is sure to be given rest in this match.
