“We have all the match champs. The conditions are truly troublesome in England. I feel that India needs a swing bowler on the grounds that with the Duke’s ball you should realize how to swing it. You have quick bowlers – Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma. We need somebody like Bhuvneshwar Kumar,” Yuvraj said while addressing Times of India.

He did well during the white-ball visit, however there have been many discussions about his nonappearance from the Test crew. In spite of losing a bowler like Avesh Khan and a strong all-rounder like Washington Sundar, Indian selectors ruled against sending Bhuvneshwar Kumar. All things being equal, for Shubman Gill’s physical issue, the group called for Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav.
