India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has decided to rest spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for the second Test against England at Edgbaston, as part of a planned three‑match workload rotation. In his place, Akash Deep, a 28‑year‑old right‑arm seamer with seven Tests and 15 wickets to his name, is set to join Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna in the pace attack. Bumrah, fresh from a five‑wicket haul at Headingley, was absent from bowling in nets and reportedly held a lengthy discussion with Gambhir. Arshdeep Singh appears unlikely to feature. This selection move deepens scrutiny of India’s seam unit after a collapse in the first Test’s second innings. (PC: NDTV Sports)
