Jasprit Bumrah has been India’s top pacer and his contribution has been extremely important for the Indian Team. The pacer has faced several injury concerns with the latest being his back injury which he faced during the Sydney Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Following which he did not play the Champions Trophy and missed a few matches of IPL 2025.
Now after recovery he is back with the Indian Team and will be playing the Test series against England but to manage the workload he will be featuring in only 3 Tests as confirmed by Bumrah himself. Speaking to former cricketer Dinesh Karthik for Sky Sports Cricket, Bumrah mentioned that he is planning to play three Test out of which the first one is definitely confirmed others will be decided after.
“Plan on the go. 3 Test matches is what I’m looking at,” Bumrah said.
“Obviously, the number is not decided. First (Test) is definitely on, that is going to happen. Rest, we will see how things are, what is the workload and scenario… but yes. 3 Tests is what I can manage at the moment.”
“I don’t want to be in a desperate scenario. That is one part as well. If I would’ve been a captain, I can’t be dictating that I can only play 3 Test matches. That doesn’t send a good message to the team. I want to be at my best as a player and contribute to the best of my capability,” said Bumrah.
