India is considering whether to include Jasprit Bumrah in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, with a final decision dependent on his fitness clearance. Bumrah, 32, has been named in the Shubman Gill-led squad for the series, but his participation is not yet confirmed. The reports say he previously missed the third ODI against England at Lord’s due to an “impact injury” to his left knee. Although he is currently under fitness review, he has reportedly looked sharp in the two matches he did play following the injury. The general expectation described across the coverage is that India may take a cautious approach, effectively waiting for medical clearance before determining Bumrah’s availability for the Test matches. The articles do not detail a specific timetable for the clearance or indicate how many Tests he would miss if not fit, focusing instead on the current status of the injury and the selection being subject to approval.
