- Ravi Shastri expressed strong disapproval of the Indian team’s choice to omit Jasprit Bumrah from the lineup for the crucial second Test against England at Edgbaston, despite the bowler being declared fit and ready to participate.

- Shastri called resting Bumrah a baffling and ill-timed move, emphasizing the need for the team's premier fast bowler to play if India wanted to stay alive in the series.
- The controversy highlighted India's recent struggles in Test cricket, including back-to-back series losses against New Zealand and Australia and their ongoing failure to win at Edgbaston.
