India's Decision on Jasprit Bumrah for Second Test Against England
India is keeping the playing status of Jasprit Bumrah uncertain for the upcoming second Test against England. The team will make a last-minute call based on pitch conditions and player readiness. Captain Shubman Gill mentioned that Bumrah is 'definitely available' but the final decision will be made after assessing the pitch. The team is concerned about the potential impact of playing Bumrah on a batting-friendly pitch. Akash Deep could be a possible replacement if Bumrah is rested.
India is yet to confirm if Jasprit Bumrah will play in the second Test match on Wednesday. The decision will be made late on Tuesday night. The team is concerned that if the pitch at Edgbaston favors batting and rain falls over the weekend, a draw is likely. Captain Shubman Gill mentioned that Bumrah is 'definitely available' but the final decision will depend on the pitch conditions.
The team's lower-order batting was a concern in the first Test. While the top five batters performed well, the bottom six struggled to score runs. Gill emphasized the need for the top order to take more responsibility in setting match-winning totals.
Jofra Archer impressed during training, with Ben Stokes praising his swing and pace. Stokes dismissed questions about Bumrah's involvement, stating it's 'India's problem to deal with'.
