Former Captain India believes that Kuldeep should replace Sharduula Thakura for the upcoming second test in Birmingham and quote conditions that will probably help spin with wrists. “Whether Jasprit Bumrah is suitable or not, I think Kuldeep Yadav has to come to the team. I believe he should come to the team for Shardul Thakur, because Birmingham will be where he will help a little for his wrist,” Gavascar said on Tuesday. Thakur, who played his first test in more than two years, failed to have a significant impact. In the first shifts, only six overs bowed at 38 runs without a goal and after both shifts he managed only five runs. Although he provided a short spark with the ball in the second shifts, Ben Stokes and Harry Brook rejected after him, Gavascar felt that his overall performance was not convincing. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav was played in England Lord’s in 2018-, where he went without a goal. Yet Gavascar believes that his variation could be essential in Birmingham.

While he is not yet to be abandoned, Gavascar has indicated a possible rearrangement if India goes 0-2 down.

Will the Indian middle order improve in the next test?
“If things are not going well in the second test, maybe Sai (Sudharsan) and Karun (Nair). I don’t want to drop them at the moment. Then I would also look at Washington (Sundar), so it really gives you stronger launching, and gets a little more diversity in Bowling.” After a painful loss in England in Headingley 5.
