India’s pace depth is to be tested in the last two tests against Australia. Umesh Yadav is expected to miss the rest of the series.
Several media outlets report that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given up hope in the 33-year-old, who is the most experienced member of the tourist tempo attack, playing either with the SCG or Gabba.
Seasoned Paceman Ishant Sharma (Side Charge) and Enforcer Mohammed Shami (Broken Arm), who would normally join the spearhead of Jasprit Bumrah in India’s XI, are also not available.
Yadav’s setback will put the strain on Bumrah at SCG, where the series will resume on Thursday.
Siraj claimed the key wickets from Travis Head and Cameron Green during the final innings of the Second Test in Australia and stepped up after Yadav was limited to just 21 deliveries.
Thangarasu Natarajan, who made his ODI and Twenty20 debut for India at the start of his current tour, has stayed on the roster as a Net Bowler and some media suggests he could be a shock pickup in Sydney.
Kuldeep Yadav, who admires Shane Warne, is another option, but it would have to be a remarkably spin-friendly surface for the tweaker to play with his left arm alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Meanwhile, the BCCI has released a clip about Rohit Sharma’s training and joining the Melbourne squad after being in hotel quarantine for a fortnight.
Shastri stated after the second test that Sharma’s fitness will determine whether the seasoned batsman plays with the SCG.
Sharma, who would likely replace Mayank Agarwal at the top of the rankings if recalled, missed the first two Tests with a hamstring injury sustained during the Indian Premier League.
India’s captain Virat Kohli has returned home for the birth of his first child and will no longer play another role in the series.
