Eng vs IND: The second match of the 5 -match Test series between India and England will be played from July 2. England won by 5 wickets in the first Test match played from 20 June to 25 June 2025. Now the news is coming that in the second Test, India’s fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah cannot be seen playing against England.
Information about Bumrah was coming out for a long time that he would be out of two Tests. In such a situation, the Indian team may weaken even more in front of England. However, there are reports that Akash Deep or Arshdeep Singh can be included in the team instead of Bumrah.
Indian bowlers perform in first Test
Mohammad Siraj, the famous Krishna and Shardul Thakur were part of the team in the first Test played in Handingley but could not have any special impact like Bumrah. In such a situation, the eyes of the selectors are once again on Akash Deep. Akash Deep may return to Test cricket once again.
Akash Deep’s performance against England
Fast bowler Akash Deep started his Test career against England. In the first match, he showed aggressive batsmen like Jack Croly, Ben Docket and Oli Pope to the pavilion. During this time his average was 35.20. However, he was criticized for his line-length on Australia tour last year.
Arshdeep Singh can debut
Although Arshdeep Singh may not have made his step in Test cricket yet, he has the experience of playing with a red ball in England. He got this experience during county cricket. During this, he took 13 wickets in his name while playing 5 matches for Kent. During this time his average was 41.76.
The biggest ability of Arshdeep Singh is that they swing the ball from both sides, which can make it difficult for the batsmen. In such a situation, if they get a new ball, then they can prove fatal against England. However, it remains to be seen who among these two bowlers includes head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill.
