Sanjay Manjrekar selected Team India’s playing XI for Lord’s Test, said – Bumrah’s return fixed, this fast bowler will have to go out

Prior to the Lord’s Test, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has estimated Team India’s possible playing XI. He made it clear that even if the pitch is green grass, Team India will not land with four fast bowlers. Manjrekar has considered the return of Jasprit Bumrah as a fixed and described a fast bowler as the most likely option to sit out.

Discussions between India and England starting at Lord’s from July 10 are intensified with which playing XI Team India will field with which playing XI. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has given his opinion and has told that Jaspreet Bumrah is scheduled to return, but a fast bowler will have to bear the brunt of this.

Manjrekar said in a conversation with ESPNcricinfo, “I think a fast bowler will be out. As long as Lord’s pitch is extremely green. We have seen before that when the sun comes out, the green pitch also dries up. Team India will not go with four pacers.” He said, “Bumrah, Siraj and Akash Deep will be three fast bowlers. Famous Krishna may have to sit outside. This may be the only change.”

Manjrekar also told that Siraj bowled brilliantly in the Birmingham Test and now his place is confirmed in the team. At the same time, the economy rate of the famous Krishna has been a concern, and in such a situation it would be a more rational option to drop him.

Let me tell you that India landed with three pacers in the Edgbaston Test, Siraj, Akash and the famous. Siraj took six wickets in the first innings while Akash Deep took a total of 10 wickets in the match. At the same time, after the return of Bumrah, the bowling attack looks even stronger.

Meanwhile, England also included Jofra Archer in the Test team after four years for the third Test, which can make the match even more exciting.

England’s playing XI for Lord’s Test against India:

Jack Croly, Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (Captain), Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Briden Cars, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir.
