Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will rejoin the squad ahead of the series-ending Dharamsala Test against England. He was supposed to be rested for the third Test of the ongoing England series, but was instead afforded rest in the next Test in Ranchi. Cumulatively, Bumrah bowled 80.5 overs in the first three Tests.
As part of workload management, India had also rested Mohammed Siraj from the second Test in Visakhapatnam before he returned to contribute to India’s record 434-run win over the visitors in Rajkot on February 18. KL Rahul, who missed the second and third Test after complaining of pain in his right quadriceps, is on the road to recovery.
Since his comeback after four months on the sidelines, the stylish batter has delivered the goods for India in tough conditions across formats. He was the only centurion for the visitors in the drawn two-Test series in South Africa in December 2023.
