Former India pace bowler Varun Aaron said that the team management have made a lot of adjustments to their plans and combinations, considering Jasprit Bumrah’s availability in mind as well. He was added to the squad for the upcoming home Test series against the West Indies as well. However, Bumrah featured in only three Tests during the five-match Test series against England, and was recently rested for the Asia Cup 2025 group stage clash against Oman as well.

“After the drubbing we got against New Zealand, I don’t think Gautam Gambhir or Shubman Gill, because it is his first home series as captain, I’m sure he does not want to give even an inch, not even a quarter. I think they are very serious about Test cricket. India have made a lot of accommodation for Bumrah. If you are managing someone’s workload to that extent, you want him in every series. I think they might manage Bumrah’s workload in the ODIs in Australia as well. He might just play two,” Varun Aaron said on ESPN Cricinfo.

The Indian team named a full-fledged spin attack for the West Indies series. However, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel will provide the best attack for sure.

“All three (spinners) can bat, that is the best part of the Indian set up, where you have somebody like Axar, Jadeja, and Sundar. I hope that Kuldeep Yadav gets a game in this series, but if they choose that route, they can have 3 spinners who can bat. Kuldeep Yadav has been waiting too long in the wings, and he has been putting up performances in every competition, except Test cricket,” Varun Aaron concluded.
