3 hostile bowlers who could get a place in the Indian squad for last 2 tests against England

Even though India had begun the test series with a lose, fans would be proud as Indian players fought their heart out to secure the winning moment. Now it's up to team management to address the problems appeared in the first test before they stride out to play in the Mecca of cricket in just a few days (Aug. 09).

If the visitors are doing the homework correctly, Lord's test could be a payback time. The batting unit is the culprit to blame which let down the Indian team in Edgebaston. This will lead to the eviction of some batters from the Indian XI in the following encounters.

However, BCCI will announce a new side just after the conclusion of the third test as the current 18-men test side allowed to play first three tests particularly. The inconsistent ones will be left out for the last two ones also there might be some bowlers to replace also some erratic batsmen.

In the first test, we all were seeing clearly that one end was equipped with thunderbolts with Ishant and Shami and the other ends of fast bowling infirm to threaten the England batsmen. As a result, the English tailenders scored significantly which is a major reason for the Edgbaston lose. Also, consider the situation, What if Bhuvi and Bumrah are not able to recover in Time? Who could fill those voids up?

Here we are about to look at three bowlers who could get a call-up to the Indian setup for the last two tests.

#3 Mohammed Siraj

Siraj knocked over Alastair Cook in second Innings of English Lions against India A

Siraj has already his made debut for India in limited overs format last year under Virat Kohli. Now, he is playing for the second string Indian team in all formats. He has been doing well for India A.

He did well in English Conditions for India last month. He bowled a match-winning spell in the first four-day match against Windies A when India was pegged back early by conceding 110 run lead in the first innings. Siraj came in and turned the tide of the match to India's favour as he scalped eight wickets in that match to get a record win over strong Windies side.

In the next four day match against England Lions, he took seven wickets however India lost the match by 253 runs. He was the only positive in that particular match.

He troubled English batsmen with his hostile pace which includes Alister Cook (Knocked-over), David Malan, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes. All these players have represented the English national side.

He is taking wickets for fun in the ongoing unofficial test against South African A side. He took a fifer in the practice match then he welcomed the visitors to the real game by taking 9 wickets for an impressive average of 8.22.

He is quality young pacer with a play mould of Umesh Yadav. We shouldn't be surprised if he gets a place for the last two tests.

#2 Deepak Chahar

Chahar is a good option when India misses the service of Buvneshwar

Yet another in-form bowler who is unfortunate to miss out in the Test squad. He has been doing well since IPL. He was included in the India A side for a tri-series against English lions and West Indies A. He showed his quality in higher level by taking 14 wickets in just six matches which earned him a maiden call-up in India in T20s against England.

Considering the drama over Bhuvi's aggravated back injury, Chahar should have replaced him already in the Indian tests. He could be a viable option in place of Bhuvneshwar to play for India in tests when later is absent.

The 25-year-old is a very good swing bowler who is able to impart the same work what could Bhuvi's do. He is not new to the scene, he has taken 100+ wickets in the first class games. When India misses the service of Bhuvi and Bumrah, India needs to draft a real good Swing bowler into the side.

He comes with all the options that Bhuvi could provide. He is a handy batsman, can bat down the order to lengthen the innings as long as possible. Selectors will be forced to pick Chahar if Bhuvi's injured back refuses to allow him to play further. This script would give Deepak a chance to showcase his prowess with the red cherry in the last two tests.

#1 Ankit Rajpoot

Rajpoot is highly rated bowler by the former Indian quick Vengatesh Prasath

The Utter Pradesh born young fast bowler came into the limelight when he scalped four wickets for just 14 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the recently concluded IPL season.

His performance in the last edition of IPL earned him a call-up to the India A side. He did reasonably well for India A in four-day games in England last month. He took a fifer in his first game against West Indies A using his steeper bouncers which he bowls at ease.

In the four-day match against England Lions a few weeks back, he was threatening England opener cook throughout the day where eventually Rajpoot won that long battle by knocking him over which shows Rajpoot's temperament to bowl all day with consistent guile.

He would give Ishant a good hand at other ends as his height is really helpful in any ground around the world. Rajpoot is a tall guy - more than 6 feet and also he is in form. He will be an asset if he sets his tone when India needed his aggressive short deliveries.
