Despite having stringent fitness regimes that include the YoYo test, injuries have still taken a toll on Team India just ahead of the crucial Test series against England. Virat Kohli will miss two of his finest pace bowlers — Bhuvneshwar Kumar (aggravated lower back) and Jasprit Bumrah (thumb injury sustained during the first T20I versus Ireland) — as Team India prepare to take on England in the much-anticipated five-Test series from August 1 at Edgbaston.

While Bhuvneshwar has been ruled out of the first three Tests, Bumrah will be available for selection from the second Test onwards depending on his fitness. The absence of the duo from the opening Test has left the bowling department a bit depleted. However, India's legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar believes India still have depth in their bowling with the likes of Hardik Pandya, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur.
