I thought Bumrah would play- Vaughan

Vaughan was quite surprised when Bumrah was not included in the second Test. Talking to Cricbuzz, Von said, “I am surprised that India has announced, Bumrah will play only three Tests. Why are you telling them this? Just three play. If you don’t choose it, it’s fine. But after seven days, after seven days rest, after being behind in India’s series, I felt that he would play here.”

Vaughan said that this match is very important for India. They need to win this. Von said, “India will have to win this match. If they lose, they will lag behind 2-0, you will bring Jaspreet back to Lord’s. I know the players want to play in Lord’s. But I am only watching India, he will have to win this match this week.”

Vaughan has also questioned the selection of Team India after this. Team India has included only 5 specialist batsmen and a lot of all -rounders in this match. Von said, “I wanted two more bowlers. I wanted Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh. You can argue that such a pitch could have been played with three spinners in Edgbaston with three spinners. It is dry and slow.”
