Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss India’s upcoming two-match Test series because he is not yet fully recovered from an impact injury, sources cited in reporting say. Bumrah was rested for the third and final ODI against England last month, and his current availability remains in doubt due to the injury’s ongoing recovery timeline. The latest reports also note public calls from a former India player for India to consider recalling other fast-bowling options. Specifically, the suggestion is to bring back Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ahead of the Test series in Bumrah’s absence. The coverage frames the situation as one where India is balancing immediate team needs with a player’s fitness and rehabilitation progress. While Bumrah’s injury is presented as the direct reason for missing the Tests, the discussion around Shami and Bhuvneshwar centers on potential squad rotation and alternatives for the bowling attack. The reports do not indicate a final squad decision but highlight that recall demands are being raised as the Test series approaches.
