Jasprit Bumrah included in India’s squad for final England Test

India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will return to the team for the last Test against England in Dharamsala, confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday.

Bumrah was rested from the fourth Test, which India won by five wickets and clinched the series with an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

Meanwhile, top-order batter KL Rahul remained unavailable for selection due to a quadricep tendon injury and is currently in London to consult with doctors.

“The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring him and coordinating with specialists in London for further management of his issue,” Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.

“He is recovering well and will soon head to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to commence his rehabilitation process,” Shah said of Shami.
