Therefore, there will be a competition between Reddy and Rinku Singh. As for the spin department, Axar Patel is certain to play, but only two of Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy will be able to secure a spot, and Kuldeep may get a chance based on his form. Bumrah’s return, will Harshit have to wait? Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was out of the ODI series, will showcase his strength in this series. Bumrah didn’t have a great Asia Cup, but a few days of rest and the Australian conditions will suit him well. He could prove to be crucial for Team India in this series. Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh, who performed effectively in the ODI series, will complete the bowling attack. Therefore, Harshit Rana may have to wait for the first T20.
