Talking about Bumrah, Ryan Ten Doeschate said, 'He is obviously available for selection. We know from the beginning that he will play only three out of five matches. He has got eight days to recover from the last Test. We have not yet taken any decision on the next match. If we feel that there is an advantage in playing him in this Test, then we will take this decision at the last minute. By advantage I mean the assessment of the weather, pitch and conditions.'
Apart from this, Deshkate said that two main spinners can be included in the team in this Test. He said, 'There is a lot of possibility of playing two spinners. It just has to be seen which two spinners we play. It is also related to adding more options in batting. All three spinners are bowling very well. Washington is better in terms of batting. It has to be seen with which combination we go?'
