The Indian team are witnessing a rebuilding phase in the red-ball format, and now with Bumrah’s availability in the England tour will trouble the Indian team more.
Jasprit Bumrah suffered an injury in the Australia tour, but he returned to action in the IPL 2025. According to The Indian Express, Bumrah told BCCI that he’ll not be available for all five Test matches to manage his workload.
In the last England tour, Bumrah picked up 18 wickets in four Test matches, including a five-wicket haul against England.
In the past three years, Bumrah’s back issue has created more problems for him in the red-ball format. Bumrah isn’t playing the Test matches regularly for the Indian team.
Who will lead India’s pace attack in the absence of Bumrah?
Mohammad Shami will reportedly be out of the squad for the England tour due to his fitness and form. Apart from Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer in the Indian squad.
Mohammed Siraj is in contention for the England tour. However, India might go with the young pace attack for the next overseas Test to build the team for the next decade.
India vs England Test series
India will be touring England for the five-match Test series. The series will commence on June 20 in Headingley. India head coach Gautam Gambhir will travel to England on June 6 with the India A squad to prepare for the tour.
