They must be mental to not pick Kuldeep now.
depends if india want to stick to 2 seamers or not. they could go for the 4 spinner strategy which would guarantee kuldeep's place in the playing xi
Any word on what's going on with him? Or Brook for that matter

They have key players out , lost the 1st test, Siraj is a waste of space in this side and brings absolute SFA.
Their is no reason to retain him and yeah Kuldeep must come in now.

I think it's somewhat refreshing in this day and age that we don't know what the various issues are.

I think it'll be a straight swap. Jaddu and Lokesh out, Kuldeep and Patidar/Sarfraz in. Don't think we'll see anything else funky.
Would be nice if Umesh got a call up tho. Seems to be bowling well in Ranji. Probably a better old-ball option than Siraj, who seemingly can't get reverse swing or bowl dry.

Surely there should be a new thread for the 2nd test at Vizag? Well anyway,
there must be some doubt whether Leach will be fit, I would expect Anderson
to come in for Wood, maybe Yobbo as well if Leach cant play, but England
might do something really freaky and play Bashir, seeing how much
success Root had. Both Rahul and Jadega will miss the 2nd with injuries, so
some decisions for India too. However England are so buoyant after that
win, they probably believe they are all supermen and can fly.

Its just an insane exclusion .
His last test match was in Bangladesh where he got MOTM so their should be no debate over whether he should play the next unless you are an absolute turnip.

This is shaping up to be a brilliant series. Five Tests, Eng winning already and posing serious questions, injuries and absences in the Indian ranks. And it goes on till March

He should play every game in India but Axar's batting which admittedly is crucial will always see him chosen over Kuldeep.

Wrong but yeah it is what it is.
Amusingly/Annoyingly the batting of Kuldeep is okish these days anyway.
I think Kuldeep is the bowling option, though as far as batting goes I don't think Washington is that out of the picture compared to Patidar and Sarfaraz. It isn't like he has a terrible Test or FC record.

I suspect it’ll be Washy, Patidar and Kuldeep for Jadeja, KL and Siraj.
I don’t think they’ll budge from the 5 bowler strat anytime soon. Which is fine in this case as Kuldeep and Washy do offer some decent batting depth. You also don’t want to get caught with an injured bowler or a lack of options whilst getting bazballed.
Subject to the bowling friendliness of the wicket though a 4 bowler attack can definitely be the better option.
