There have been instances in the past when Arjun has bowled to the Indian team as he spends a majority of his time in London where he hones his craft.
This current stint with the Indian team makes sense as in Edgbaston, Sam Curran the 20-year-old all-rounder rocked the top order in the first innings and picked up crucial wickets even in the second dig. Also, the Indian team does not have any left-arm seamer in the squad, which makes this session all the more crucial.
Ahead of the Lord’s Test, there are plenty of questions facing the Indian team which revolves around team selection. Also, the conditions in London are expected the change over the week which makes the proposition of including two spinners tricky.
