In 50-over Game, India Should Win Everything but in Tests They’ll Have to Rely a Lot on Bumrah, Says Allan Lamb
- Team India began their practice session on Friday at Edgbaston, Birmingham, preparing for the second Test against England starting July 2.
- Jasprit Bumrah is likely to sit out the second Test, a development that heightens concerns since India has yet to secure a red-ball victory at Edgbaston.
- Bumrah, India’s leading pacer and the top-ranked Test bowler globally, took five wickets in the first match of the series but was absent from Friday’s practice session, a day when Prasidh Krishna also did not participate.
- Former England cricketer Allan Lamb expressed confidence in India's capability to triumph over any team in limited-overs cricket, emphasized their dependence on Jasprit Bumrah for success in Test matches, and voiced his dissatisfaction with the current structure of the World Test Championship.
- India aims to level the series in Birmingham despite potential bowling challenges from Bumrah's absence, and Arshdeep Singh may earn his maiden Test cap to strengthen the attack.
