Bhuvneshwar Kumar can also be in the mixture, considering he can bat and can be effective in English conditions,” they said to trace developments.
“That’s the reason for replacement must be sent earliest.
We are only 10 days from the first test, so they will not be available for the game.
At least they have to start working for the second test and even it will be close if India is forced to play one of the newcomers , “said the source.

But, how many replacements still the question.
Charan Sharma’s head voter was asked to contact team management in the UK and the council learned to discuss two replacements and not three.
