Team India will be playing with 2 pace attack bowling side in my opinion so they went with the back up options they already have and this is happening in India the player will be there to replace if someone got injured. I am worried about Bhuvi, he is doing extraordinary in the Ranji since his comeback and he is one of the few bowlers who can swing both sides with high accuracy still haven't been provided an opportunity is a bit disappointing.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a comeback to first-class cricket very recently, when he helped Uttar Pradesh to bowl out Bengal for 188. He was playing in Ranji after a long gap of 6 years. Bhuvneshwar returned figures of 22-5-41-8, with Yash Dayal picking up the remaining 2 wickets. He looks to be in prime form, but the selectors have mostly ignored him for national team selection. They are after their favorites such as Avesh Khan. BTW, in the same math Uttar Pradesh got bundled out for just 60. Mohammed Kaif (Mohammed Shami's brother) picked up 4 wickets.
Lol
He played his last test in 2018 and then came his injury. During that time Shami, Ishant, Bumrah and to some extent, Yadav(home) were at their peak as well. Hardik was also in the Test mix. So tell me how was Bhuvi supposed to get a place on the team? It's not like he was bad but other players were performing exceptionally well and he had a habit of picking up injuries every now n then so it also didn't help him.
