India vs England Tests: The Jasprit Bumrah Rest Dilemma

Before the second Test against England on July 2, the Indian cricket team faces a decision regarding Jasprit Bumrah's participation. Bumrah was scheduled to play only three Tests to manage his workload. After bowling 44 overs in the first Test, the team must decide whether he should rest for the second Test in Birmingham to be fresh for the upcoming matches.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir hinted that the second Test might be a good opportunity for Bumrah to take a break. The team's priority is to manage Bumrah's workload effectively for the future matches. If Bumrah sits out of the Birmingham Test, the team will have to choose a replacement bowler to strengthen the bowling attack.

Former India head coach Shastri suggested that Bumrah might skip the Birmingham Test to be fit for the following matches. The decision on Bumrah's participation will have a significant impact on the team's strategy for the upcoming Tests against England.
