IND vs ENG 4th Test: Bumrah to be replaced by Umesh Yadav?
The latest update from BCCI is that the exceptionally talented fast bowler in Jasprit Bumrah made a request to BCCI to release him from the squad for the 4th test citing personal reasons. The exact reasons are unknown and in all likelihood, BCCI might not name a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah as they already have 2 quality pacers in the squad in Mohammad Siraj and Umesh Yadav to choose from as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the playing 11.
It was expected that Umesh Yadav will be the part of playing 11 in the pink ball test as well but India read the pitch to perfection and went ahead with 3 spinners in the XI which proved to be a master stroke. Although, the 3rd spinner in Washington Sundar didn’t need bowl more than 4 balls in the test, the need for the fast bowlers were zero in that wicket.
