Setback for Team India! The Mighty Gujju Bowler Jasprit Bumrah Won’t Play for Another 2 Months—Find Out the Selectors’ Plan!

The Test series between Team India and Bangladesh is set to begin next month. However, if you are hoping for Jasprit Bumrah’s return in this series, you might be disappointed. According to reports, Team India’s selectors are considering giving him rest even for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. If this happens, Bumrah could be away from the Indian team for another two months.

Bumrah Likely to Miss Tests Against Bangladesh

The Test series between India and Bangladesh is set to start on September 19. Bangladesh will be touring India for a two-match Test series, but reports suggest that Bumrah might not be a part of it. However, there is no official confirmation yet. 

The reports indicate that due to domestic conditions and the return of Shami, selectors might decide to rest Bumrah for these matches.

Bumrah Becomes Crucial Amidst Busy Test Schedule

It is believed that Indian selectors are still deliberating over whether Bumrah will play against Bangladesh or not. The decision could be influenced by Team India’s upcoming schedule. India is set to play 10 Test matches in the next four months, including five against Australia. Meanwhile, selectors are being cautious regarding Bumrah’s participation.

Rest for Bumrah Due to Home Conditions and Shami’s Return

Bumrah might be rested for the Test series against Bangladesh due to the spin-friendly pitches in India and the return of Mohammed Shami. 

Shami’s comeback could fill the gap in India’s pace attack, providing the experience needed. As a result, Bumrah may be given rest during this series.

When Will Bumrah Return to Team India?

The question now is when Jasprit Bumrah will make his return if he does not play in the Test series against Bangladesh. His comeback might be seen in the series against New Zealand. 

The New Zealand team is set to tour India in October for a three-match Test series, starting on October 16. Bumrah could potentially return to the squad for this series.
