England vs India 2nd Test

Shubman gill on jasprit bumrah availability: A 5 Test series is going on between India and England. The second match will be played at Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, where India has not won any Test till date. The pressure on Team India has increased after the defeat in the first Test. In such a situation, Shubman Gill came to the press conference before the match. He gave an important update about Jaspreet Bumrah. Gill said that the team needs a combination of such bowlers who can take all 20 wickets in the match, so that the path of victory can be easier.

Gill’s answer to Bumrah’s availability

Shubman Gill said in the press conference that Jaspreet Bumrah is available for the team, but keeping his workload in mind, the final decision will be taken before the match. They said, “We are looking for the right combination of players who take 20 wickets and score runs.” Team management is maintaining suspense about Bumrah.

According to media reports, Akash Deep can be given a chance to his place. Also, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar and Arshdeep Singh are also expected to attend the playing-11.

Gill accepted the spin department decreased

Shubman Gill, reviewing the Leeds Test, admitted in the press conference that the team lacked the second spinner. He said that if the team had another spinner, the attitude of the match could have changed. Gill said, “The last day of the last test felt that if we had another spinner, we could have made pressure. If the Edgbaston’s pitch remains the same, the second spinner would not be a bad option.”

Talking about Edgbaston Test, this ground has always been challenging for India. Out of the 8 Tests played here, India got defeat in 7 and only 1 draw. Last time too, Team India had to face 7 wickets from England here. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether India can change history this time or not.
