Eng vs Ind 2nd Test: Host England are 1-0 ahead in the 5-match Test series after winning the first match. The Indian cricket team would like to win the second Test and equal it 1-1. The second Test match between India and England will be played from 2 to 6 July at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. India has never won a Test match on Edgbaston Cricket Ground. On Tuesday, before the match, India’s Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doshet held a press conference, in which he gave important information about the possible strategy and changes of Team India. The team can enter the Birmingham Test with a new combination.
Big information about Bumrah
Team India’s Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doshet said, “Yes, Bumrah is all set to play. As I said earlier, it depends on how we want to manage the remaining four Test matches. If we feel that we need to play in this test, we will take a decision in the last time. It should be saved and all these things will affect our decision.
You have seen them training, they practiced yesterday and still practiced a little today. This does not mean that he is not fit. He is fully fit. The only thing is that we want to take maximum benefit from their performance by putting them on the field at the right time. This is a strategic decision in which many aspects are being considered. ”
Will the team part?
The situation is still not clear about Jaspreet Bumrah playing in the second Test match. The reports earlier said that Bumrah could be rested in this match and he can return to the third Test. This decision was taken in view of his work load management. Let me tell you that Bumrah took five wickets for India while bowling brilliantly in the first innings of the first Test played at the headingley ground of Leeds, which gave the team a slight lead of six runs. However, he could not take any wicket in the second innings and England won the match by five wickets to achieve the target of 371 runs.
At the time of team selection, it was already made clear that Bumrah would not play the entire five Tests. They will be launched in only four matches. Captain Shubman Gill and Coach Gautam Gambhir also said that in which matches to feed Bumrah, it will be decided later. A new report came out on Thursday, stating that Bumrah could be excluded from the second Test.

Shardul Thakur’s performance in the last match was not impressive with both ball and bat. In such a situation, he can now be excluded from the playing XI and all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is likely to be included in the team. Birmingham’s pitch can give the Indian team a chance to two spinners on this. Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar – plans are being made to feed two of these three. In the first Test, Ravindra Jadeja was included in the team as the only spinner. Coach Ryan Ten Doshet appreciated Kuldeep Yadav’s net bowling and said that he is in excellent rhythm.
