Jasprit Bumrah Ruled Out: The first Test match between India vs Australia as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 has started. The first match of this series is being played in Nagpur. It is known that BCCI has announced Team India for the first 2 matches of this Test series. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not selected in this. However, everyone expected him to play in the next two Tests.
Bumrah, who has been away from the field for a long time, is expected to be fully fit for the last 2 Test matches of this Test series. But now there are reports that he will miss the entire Test series.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in no rush to field Bumrah in view of the ODI World Cup to be held later this year. On the other hand, it is said that the team without Bumrah may not have much of a deficit due to the heavy reliance on spin bowlers in this Test series. Because of this, BCCI hopes that he will get more time to be fully fit.
It is known that Jasprit Bumrah has been continuously working on his fitness since September 2022 at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. Meanwhile, after the Test series against Australia, the team is also scheduled to play a 3-match ODI series from March 17. It is not yet clear whether Bumrah will be available for ODIs as well.
