2nd Test: Bumrah’s Absence At Edgbaston 'very Hard To Believe, Says Shastri
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said he has found Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston as something which is very hard to believe.
With India 1-0 down in the five-match series, Bumrah has been rested from the match at Edgbaston due to workload management issues, with Akash Deep taking his place in the playing eleven. At toss, captain Shubman Gill revealed the India management felt Lord’s will offer Bumrah more familiar conditions to succeed, but Shastri was left unpleased.
"This is a very important match, they've had a week off. I'm little surprised Bumrah is not playing this game. It should be taken out of the player's hand. It should be the captain and the coaching staff that should decide who should be playing the 11. This is an important game in the context of the series, he should be playing this game more than anything else.”
