Former captain Mohammed Azharuddin said India should play left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the second Test at Edgbaston against England to add more experience to their bowling attack and reduce the burden on pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

Across the first Test at Leeds, which India lost by five wickets, the visitors were relying heavily on Bumrah for wickets and cutting the flow of runs. “They are too much dependent on Bumrah. It’s not easy because you need more experienced bowlers, and they should play Kuldeep Yadav,” Azharuddin said.

India will face England in the second Test at Birmingham from July 2, and the pitch, which is expected to be dry, could offer some assistance to Kuldeep. “We lost because of batting collapse, but anyways now they have to pick the right players and bowling has to be perfect,” he noted.
