Jasprit Bumrah’s impact worries the Indian team management right now. They must choose between using their best bowler or resting him. This tough decision could change India’s chances in the England series.
IND vs ENG 2025 series puts huge pressure on team selectors. Bumrah bowled 44 overs in the first Test at Headingley already. His body needs rest but India also needs wickets badly in the second test.
The management worry about Bumrah getting hurt if he plays too much. Indian cricket fans know how important he is for winning matches. But keeping him healthy matters more than winning one game quickly.
The Big Decision About the Birmingham Test
India’s coaches must decide if Bumrah will play in Birmingham soon. The second Test starts on July 2 and everyone wants him. But playing him might hurt his chances in later matches.

Coach Gautam Gambhir says the team will not rush this important decision. He wants to protect Bumrah for future Tests rather than risk. This smart thinking shows how much India values their star bowler.
Former coach Ravi Shastri understands why everyone wants Bumrah to play. He knows Birmingham could help India tie the series at 1-1. But he also supports the idea of keeping Bumrah fresh.
Finding Good Backup Bowlers
If Bumrah rests, India will try Arshdeep Singh or Kuldeep Yadav instead. These bowlers are good but not as experienced as Bumrah. The team hopes they can still take wickets against England.
Arshdeep Singh bowls fast and swings the ball well in England. Kuldeep Yadav spins the ball and confuses batsmen with his tricks. Both players want to prove themselves in this big series.
