Jasprit Bumrah ruled out
India’s leading speed bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka due to physical concerns, according to a report by cricbuzz. Let us look into detail on Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of ODI series against Sri Lanka on fitness grounds.
Bumrah had already been given a recall to India’s ODI team for the three-match series against Sri Lanka by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Bumrah made his last appearance for India in a T20I match against Australia back in September of last year He has now missed a number of significant Indian events, including the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. There were great expectations that Bumrah will rejoin India’s squad for the match against Sri Lanka, but it appears the bowler would need a little more time to get back to full health.
One of the main factors contributing to India’s failure to advance in the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup was Bumrah’s exclusion from the squads. Some even accused the BCCI of hastily returning Bumrah. It appears that the board is unwilling to take a chance with the star pacer this time.
Bumrah’s name has previously been added to the Indian team’s list for the Sri Lanka series in a BCCI statement. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has selected bowler Jasprit Bumrah for India’s ODI team for the forthcoming MasterCard 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, according to the press release.
