Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has criticized India’s decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah and omit Kuldeep Yadav for the Edgbaston Test, calling it “baffling” and urging the return of attacking options . Finch tweeted, “If Bumrah was fit… at least Kuldeep has to be in the XI,” . Meanwhile, former India all‑rounder Irfan Pathan echoed the sentiment, saying players shouldn’t “pick and choose” matches . India countered that the squad change aimed to manage bowling workload and bolster batting depth. India finished Day 1 strongly with captain Shubman Gill scoring a century amid the selection storm.
