Intense Net Session: Arshdeep & Tail‑End Batting Take Centre Stage in Birmingham

India’s squad trained for four intense hours in Birmingham on Friday, as preparations ramp up ahead of the second Test at Edgbaston on July 2. Left‑arm pacer Arshdeep Singh clocked a long, focused spell alongside bowling coach Morne Morkel — positioning himself as a potential replacement should Jasprit Bumrah miss out

Meanwhile, senior fast bowler Mohammed Siraj dedicated extra time to refining his batting under tail‑end specialist Sitanshu Kotak, signalling India’s concern after a collapsed lower order at Headingley

Uncertainty surrounds Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna, both absent from the nets despite being on-site

With India trailing 0‑1 in the series, the focus is now on shoring up bowling depth and improving tail‑end resilience, as the team seeks to rebound at Edgbaston.
