Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has already hinted that the Indian management is looking to go with two spinners as opposed to a solitary one in Ravindra Jadeja at Leeds. However, surprisingly, it is understood that Kuldeep Yadav is not in the mix of things despite growing calls to include the X-factor spinner.

India’s bowling had looked toothless as they failed to take enough wickets and defend a 371-run total in the fourth innings in first match. Kuldeep’s inclusion would have thus addressed the wicket-taking issue since his wrist spin makes him a genuine threat.

Why is Kuldeep Yadav not in the mix for a Playing XI spot for the 2nd ENG vs IND Test?

Given that the conditions are expected to favour batting, playing Kuldeep means sacrificing a batter. India will thus need to use someone who will not compromise the batting strength while adding bowling ammunition. With Jaddu once again expected to be the frontline bowler in the two-spinner attack, India is likely to bring in Washington Sundar as the other spinner to support the veteran.

Washington is reportedly batting and bowling well and the same was emphasised by Ryan ten Doeschate in the pre-match press conference earlier on Monday (June 30).

Furthermore, to increase depth in both batting and bowling departments, either one between Sai Sudarsan or Karun Nair could give way to Nitish Kumar Reddy. He is a batting all-rounder and can bowl a few overs of medium pace in the middle and give relief to the main pace attack if needed.

In this combination, India will have six bowling options to rotate from, one extra from the last game – four pacers in Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep (Jasprit Bumrah replacement), Nitish Reddy and two spinners in Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar.
