India pace spearhead bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is likely to miss the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh as a part of the management’s plan to carefully handle his workload and ensure his long-term fitness and performance.
Currently, Bumrah is on vacation and has not been involved in any cricketing action since leading India to their second ICC World Cup title during the 2024 tournament held in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA).
The management is considering giving him further rest from the two-match series against Bangladesh to keep him fresh for the important series and the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The Indian cricket team is scheduled to play ten Test matches in the next four matches, including five against Australia and Bumrah is a key cog in their bowling line-up, which is why he might miss the Bangladesh series.
However, the final decision will be made by the Ajjit Agarkar-led Indian selection committee. Meanwhile, experienced batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have reportedly been requested to participate in the Duleep Trophy to get the match practice before a busy Test schedule.
Jasprit Bumrah has faced numerous injuries and was unable to participate in significant events in the past, including the ICC World Cup 2022 in Australia, where India made it to the semi-finals.
