India vs England 2nd Test: Predicted Playing XI for IND and ENG | Arshdeep Singh Likely to Debut
India vs England 2nd Test: India are expected to make a few tactical changes ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, with a focus on batting depth and fresh bowling options.
With Ravindra Jadeja potentially missing out, Washington Sundar is likely to be slotted in for his all-round skills. Kuldeep Yadav, despite his wicket-taking ability, may sit out again due to concerns over his batting. In the pace department, Jasprit Bumrah is reportedly set to be rested, opening the door for Arshdeep Singh to finally debut in whites. Arshdeep’s left-arm angle could give India a new dimension, possibly pushing him ahead of Akash Deep.
Shardul Thakur might make way for Nitish Kumar Reddy, providing a younger all-round option.
Despite a few underwhelming performances, the Indian team is unlikely to tinker with its batting order. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has backed players like Karun Nair to be given an extended run. With four centurions in the first Test, stability in the top and middle order seems certain.
