India tour of England 2025 - 5 Tests

[Ed Smith]

Good old English summer

I just had a look at the Indian line up and WTF! Why is Bumrah being rested? Weakling needs to sort his priorities out. If he cannot contribute in an important series, he might as well take retirement from the format.

The motley of players trying out , might as well call it an India A tour of England and re christen it to Gill Anderson Trophy.

Damn how dare a team care about player welfare

It makes no sense Akashdeep in for Arshdeep where the variety in the bowling

"Cannot contribute in an important series"

Bro he's your leading wicket taker in the series

 

[icyman]

I think you guys are missing the point here. Is resting Bumrah more important than attempting a win and levelling the series? I certainly don't think so. Bumrah's inclusion could help India, but if they aren't going to play him in an important game, he might as well not play at all.

There isn't a World Cup/WT20 looking that he needs to rest. India isnt due to tour a major country as well, so why force him into one, knowing full well that your fast bowling stocks aren't up to it?

I hope Woakes is fine.

Why did Karun Nair and Washy not run 4 runs ?

The truth is, no one has truly nailed down the No. 3 batting spot for India.

Time to bring Abhishek Sharma as opener and shift KL to no.3

Yes, No. 3 is a crucial position to score runs, but the Indian batters who tried to settle in at that spot just collapsed.

I agree with you. Maybe give Easwaran a try if Nair fails in this one too.

 

[BasketballHooper]

This is apparently Karun Nair's 2nd highest score in Tests

Another 300 loading ?
