IND vs. Eng Test: ‘They can’t take the risk of going down 2–0’ – England’s fast bowler advised India to play Jasprit Bumrah in Edgbaston. Cricket news
England’s fast bowler Mark Wood, who is out of the five -match series against India due to injury, has warned Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir before the Edgbaston Test starting on Wednesday.“They cannot take the risk of going down 2–0. So you want your best bowler, “Wood said on Sky Sports Podcast.“There is no way he is saying, ‘I am not playing on the Lord.” I don’t think so.“Even if, let’s just say, India wins the next one and it’s 1-1, I still think they want to make the difference, to pursue them.Former England captain Michael Atherton resonated Wood’s idea that Bumrah would like to play the third Test at Lord’s, but also told India that India should play the left-bed wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav.“He has got a decision to make it over Bumrah, first, because every foreign player wants to play in a Lord’s Test,” Ettyart said.
“There is a test of God three days after Edgbaston.“In the terms of cricket, they must definitely play in Edgbaston, and I think very carefully about Old Trafford, as it is the kind of ground where speed and reverse swing are really important. But as you say, every cricketer wants to play in Lord’s and go to that honor board.“I think he should play Kuldeep Yadav. I think he was Kuldeep in his team, he used to win that game in Edgbaston.”
