Timesofindia.com in Leeds:
On the eve of the first test against England, the India team had an optional network meeting on the headingley cricket land. For beginners it was not full of house, because Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar did not come with the rest of the team in the afternoon. On the expected lines it was hot and dry when the rest trained under an unforgivable sun.With the fact that the coin threw only a few hours away, there was all the attention of what could be an India line -up. Unlike the hosts, visitors have to announce their combination for the series Opener, and Captain Shubman Gill also kept the cards close to his chest. When he asked about the combination, Gill said they had one option ready and, after looking at the playground, accept the last call.Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir looked at the playing area and left more than a 60 -second interview before renewing their relevant business. As for networks, Kl Rahul and Yashsvi Jaiswal had long hits, Gill had another marathon session, Karun Nair played on all the training sessions, Ravindra Jadeja spent considerable time for his bats before talking to coach Gambhir.It is very likely that Nair will return to India, which plays XI on position 3 and you need to take large calls on the combination of bowling and the selection of versatile. Jaiswal, Rahul, Nair, Gill, Pant and Jadeja should be the best six for the Indian cricket team, and The Seam Bowling will present Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The eight slots that take place should be called now with the remaining three.
“Wait until August to find out what style it will be”: SHUBMAN GILL BEFORE TEST HEADINGLEY
The possibility of playing SHARDUL Thakur and Nitish Reddy cannot be ruled out, as they both would give the tab depth and, if necessary, another bowling option. For the third place of a sailor, Prasidh Krishna could make a cut when Arshdeep Singh Bowled in the nets a very long spell – something that is not usual for a pitch that is expected to play in the morning.Where does the Yadav Kuldeep leave it? It will be tempted to play Chinaman, especially in these dry conditions, but it will come at the cost of depth of launching. The left -hander mixed a lot and detonated for a considerable time, but it remains to see if one versatile player is finished to include a specialized spinner.
