Former India head coach Ravi Shastri on Wednesday lamented Jaspreet Bumrah to get out of the second Test against England, which started in Edgbaston on Wednesday.“I think I am a little surprised. This is a very important match. He had a week’s holiday. I wonder Bumrah not playing the game, ”Shastri said on Sky Sports.Ravi Shastri also mentioned that it should be the call of the captain and the coach and not the player.“I think it should be taken out of the player’s hands. It should be the call of the captain and the coaching staff. They should decide who should play in XI,” he said.“This is an important game in the context of this series. He should play the game. God can come later. This is an important game where you need to directly punch, ”he said.Shastri explained the argument behind the inclusion of Nitish Kumar Reddy in the playing XI, but at the same time, he felt bad for the wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who had to sit outside.He said, “Nitish Reddy was expected in these situations. It is a storm, and again it was going to happen between Kuldeep and Washington,” he said.“I am a little surprised that Sai Reformson was dropped. It’s harsh. I think he was really played well in that Test match. And Kuldeep Yadav, that man will have to wait. Poor chap!”
