India to change pace bowling combination for ENG vs IND 5th Test! Speed-star can make return

The draw at Old Trafford has created a final-like situation for the 5th Test of the 5-match Test series between England and India. Ahead of the match at Old Trafford, starting from July 31, the Indian team management has to complete a puzzle. The difficulty level of the puzzle is mostly boosted by the workload management issue.

Before the 4th Test, the visiting side was brutally hit by multiple injuries. During the match, Jasprit Bumrah was spotted struggling with his leg for a while. Later, during the match after the press conference, the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, informed us that his team was completely out of injury problems.

Still, due to workload management, Bumrah remains uncertain about the upcoming crucial match. The performance of the Indian pace attack is also something the management would like to improve before the last encounter. Among the pacers, debutant Anshul Kamboj was the least impressive in Manchester despite taking the wicket of Ben Duckett.

Speculations around Kuldeep Yadav also

Mainly because of two reasons—workload and underwhelming performance—there are high speculations about India's bowling combination for the upcoming battle. On social media platforms, there are some claims about Akash Deep; he can make a comeback after recovering from injury. According to reports, the pacer got himself injured during a training session, ahead of the fourth Test match. During the Birmingham Test, the right-arm pacer made his mark by claiming 10 wickets. In the following test, he struck once.

Will he set out to make a comeback for the remaining match of the series? As of now, there is no confirmation, only speculations. Speculations are around Kuldeep Yadav also. Multiple media reports suggested that the spinner can finally get a chance to perform in the series against England.
