Team India trails the series 0-1, having failed to defend the 371 runs set by them at Leeds despite scoring five centuries in the Test, including two by their swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant.
Ahead of the second Test against England, Indian skipper Shubman Gill said that the strategy to play two spinners would not be a "bad option" if the wicket is the same as the previous Test match at Leeds.
The Birmingham Test will start on Wednesday. However, Jofra, who played his last Test back in February 2021, will have to wait a little longer to add to his tally of 13 Tests and 42 wickets as he was not included in the playing eleven.
