Jasprit Bumrah to skip second Test against England

Jasprit Bumrah may not play in the second Test against England.
In all probability Siraj will have to spearhead the fast-bowling department in Bumrah’s absence.

Meanwhile, Bumrah reacts after bowling a delivery on day five of the first cricket test at Headingley in Leeds.
Very early on this long tour, India have a crisis on their hands. After having lost the Headingley Test, which they should have won, they are likely to be without their MVP for the next. It could be the call of Lord’s or workload management;

Jasprit Bumrah, after bowling 44 overs at Headingley, in all probability will sit out for the second Test at Edgbaston. He is expected to return for the third Test at the home of cricket in London on July 10.

The Birmingham Test starts in about a week but that’s too short a time, and their bowling department needs to get their act together.

For starters, India’s pacers need to be skilled and that takes time. So do discipline and strategy. After their justified two-day break, India need to hit the nets and keep getting into huddles – rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat until the Headingley memories are washed clean.
