Suspense on playing Jaspreet Bumrah
When the Indian team was announced in May, the selectors made it clear that Bumrah would not play more than three Test matches during the England tour. This decision was taken after talking to the BCCI medical team. 31 -year -old Bumrah has already played three matches in the series. After playing the opener in Leeds, he was rested for the second Test and then returned to Lord’s. It was expected that he would not play in the fourth Test but due to the injuries of Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep, the team had to maintain them in XI.
