The second Test match between India and England will be played in Edgbaston from 2 July i.e. Wednesday. After the defeat in the first Test, Team India can make many changes in this match. There is a discussion that in this match, coach Gambhir can announce the playing XI with two spinners. That is, Kuldeep Yadav’s entry is considered to be fixed. But even before this masterstroke of Team India, England has broken it.
In fact, former England all -rounder Moin Ali suddenly visited his home ground during the practice of the hosts on his home ground on Monday. England is confident of Ali’s knowledge on Edgbaston’s pitch, where spinners are expected to get help from the third day.
Head coach Brendon McCullum and spin bowling coach Jeetan Patel were seen having a long conversation with Moin Ali. Moin Ali plays in T20 leagues around the world after retirement from top levels. He was also part of IPL 2025.

Why Moin Ali’s being worrying for Team India
Actually, Moin Ali has been a very experienced bowler. He can try to repair Shoaib Bashir’s spin, who failed to leave his mark against India in the first Test played in Leeds. Apart from this, Moin Ali can also tell England batsmen to deal with the spin of Ravindra Jadeja or Kuldeep Yadav.
