Will Bumrah play or not?

What will be India’s playing XI?

The Edgbaston Test cannot see any significant change in India’s playing eleven. If India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is ready to play the second Test, then Nitish Kumar Reddy may have to wait for his Test debut. Nitish was being given a chance in the absence of Bumrah. But now Bumrah is present for selection in the second Test. In such a situation, Bumrah can now play four matches instead of three out of five of this Test series.

First Shubman Gill was asked questions about the workload management of Jaspreet Bumrah. Captain Gill said, “We have about 10 bowlers for the series. Whenever Jasprit Bumrah plays for the team, it is a very good thing, but we have bowlers who can compensate for the absence of Bumrah.”

What did Gautam Gambhir say?

The question was asked about Bumrah how many Tests he would play against England. To this, Gautam Gambhir said, “We have not yet decided which Test matches Jasprit Bumrah will play. It will also depend on the results of the matches.”
