2nd Test: Akash, Nitish & Washington Come In As England Elect To Bowl First Against India
Nitish Kumar Reddy: India have brought in Akash Deep, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar as England won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
With India 1-0 down after a five-wicket defeat in Leeds, the biggest question was whether Jasprit Bumrah will play or not at Edgbaston. But with Akash marking his run-up, skipper Shubman Gill confirmed that he will be playing in place of a rested Bumrah.
While Nitish is a like-for-like replacement for seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, Washington comes at the expense of Sudharsan, who made his Test debut as a number three batter in Leeds. At Edgbaston, Karun Nair will bat at number three after batting at number six at Headingley.
