Jasprit Bumrah to lead India in Edgbaston Test; Rohit Sharma ruled out

Jasprit Bumrah will lead India in the Edgbaston Test against England, the BCCI affirmed on Thursday (June 30). Ordinary commander Rohit Sharma, who was a far fetched starter, went through a RAT Test on Thursday morning and returned a positive outcome for Covid-19 and has been controlled out of the essential conflict subsequently.

Bumrah was the leader to lead the public side in the delayed Test match from the second Rohit got sidelined because of Covid-19, as detailed prior. A bad habit skipper wasn’t named for the visit by the selectors since KL Rahul was precluded.

Despite the fact that the possibilities of Rohit coming to the game seemed, by all accounts, to be thin with the 35-year-old using up all available time, the administration was ready to hold on until the finish to check whether he returns a negative experimental outcome daily before the game. With the opener not recuperating, Bumrah will presently turn into the primary pacer after Kapil Dev to lead India in a Test match.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who drove India in the as of late closed T20I series at home against South Africa, has been named Bumrah’s appointee. India likewise should accept an approach their initial mix since Rohit has been precluded. With both the normal openers presently precluded, Shubman Gill is probably going to space in as one of the openers. Mayank Agarwal was as of late drafted into the crew and Cheteshwar Pujara has a possibility of getting back to the XI too. India are as of now driving the series 2-1 after four Tests.
