Bumrah vs England stats News

Anil Kumble urges India to play Jasprit Bumrah in the crucial 4th Test against England at Old Trafford, warning the series could slip away without him.

Jasprit Bumrah is fit and available for India’s 2nd Test against England at Edgbaston, but team management is undecided on playing him due to a pre-planned workload strategy. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed Bumrah may only play three of the five Tests to avoid injury recurrence. Despite a strong performance in the first Test (5/83), Bumrah might be rested to prioritize long-term fitness. Young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could debut if Bumrah is benched. The final decision will consider pitch conditions and overall series strategy, with India trailing 0-1 and looking to level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
