Team India fixed for 5 match Test series against England! 6 players from Border-Gavaskar out, Bhuvneshwar-Shami enter
Indian team’s senior fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar may return against England. Bhuvneshwar’s record against England and in England is very good, due to which he can be given a chance in Team India.
In the Border Gavaskar series, Indian fast bowlers were not able to support Bumrah, so Bhuvneshwar can be given a chance. Bhuvneshwar has played 5 Test matches against England so far, scoring 247 runs in 10 innings at an average of 27.44. While in bowling, he has taken 19 wickets in 7 of 5 matches at an average of 26.63.
Shami may return
Fast bowler Mohammed Shami may also return. Shami got injured after the last World Cup, after which he made a comeback in the Ranji Trophy some time ago, but due to excessive bowling, he has once again got injured, but he is likely to be fit soon. Therefore, Shami can be selected in the team for the England tour. Shami’s record in England is also tremendous, due to which he can be given a place.
Rohit did not play Border Gavaskar’s last match
Jasprit Bumrah can be made the captain of the team for this series. Rohit Sharma withdrew his name from the last match of Border Gavaskar, due to which Bumrah can now be given the captaincy.
India’s probable team against England-
Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Jadeja, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
