England Playing 11 Vs India 2nd Test: The second match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played in Visakhapatnam from tomorrow i.e. Friday, 2 February. The visiting team, which won the first test by 28 runs, has suffered a big blow before the second test. The team's main spinner Jack Leach will not be able to play the second test due to injury. In such a situation, know how England's playing eleven could be in the second test.
The second Test match between India and England will be played from 2 to 6 February at the Dr. YS Rajasekhar Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Here too we can see a spin friendly track. In such a situation, both the teams can go with three spinners each. The English team is leading 1-0 in this five-match series.
Talking about England's playing eleven in the second test, Ben Stokes will have to make one change in his team. Senior spinner Jack Leach will not play this match due to a knee injury. In such a situation, some other player will get a place in his place in the playing eleven. If we talk about replacement of Jack Leach, then England have two options in the form of Shoaib Bashir and Zain Lawrence. Shoaib Bashir is mainly a spin bowler. Lawrence does off spin, but he is mainly a batsman. In such a situation, Shoaib Bashir can be included in the playing eleven in place of Jack Leach.
In the first test, the English team came on the field with only one fast bowler. Experienced fast bowler James Anderson was not part of the playing eleven. In such a situation, once again he can sit on the bench and the England team can include only one fast bowler in the final eleven.
England's probable playing eleven in the second test- Jack Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (captain), Ben Foakes (wicketkeeper), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir and Mark Wood.
