With doubts about the availability of Jasprit Bumrah for the second test against England in Edgbaston, the former versatile of India, Irfan Pathan, supported Akash deeply in high replacement. India can resume Bumrah to manage its workload on the five -game series. Pathan thinks that Akash Deep Bowling style may well suit English conditions. “If Bumrah is not there, then who should go into the side in its place?” Akash deeply, what has been seen in the nets, seems to enter its rhythm. I think he is Shami’s type of month’s launcher, “said Pathan on his YouTube channel.
During the first test in Headingley, India lost five counters. Despite hundreds of Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, England hunted a large target of 371 points. Among the quisors, Bumrah was the only Indian Bowler to look in control and claimed unsurprisingly the most joint counters for visitors to the first test. His support casting, however, had trouble putting pressure on the strikers of England. Pathan explained that Kash Deep could offer more control because of his accent on sewing and swing. “His deliveries of straight seams can disturb the strikers of England, especially with regard to the late movement. If you are aggressive, it could be a problem. We will come to Arshdeep, but I think that if Bumrah does not play, then it should be Akash Deep which should come in its place,” he added.
Survey
Who do you think is the best replacement for Bumrah if it is rested?
Meanwhile, deputy coach Ryan Ten Deschate said that the team was confident to manage well even if Bumrah is rested. “This is the case, but we also think that we can go 1-1 or keep the score at 1-0 without jasprit. Again, it puts the eggs at the back of the series. We will also need him at a given time. A final decision on the selection of Bumrah should be made on match day.
