Full story →India likely to play waiting game with Bumrah for Sri Lanka Tests | Exclusive
India is likely to delay a call on Jasprit Bumrah's inclusion for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting August 15 in Galle.
Bumrah, 32, was picked in the Shubman Gill-led squad subject to fitness clearance after missing the third ODI against England at Lord's due to an 'impact injury' to his left knee.
He completed body conditioning at the BCCI Centre of Excellence and is set to start bowling on Saturday, with intensity to increase.
Bumrah was advised an injection for a knee issue by the BCCI medical team, requiring 8-10 days of rest; he is unlikely to join the squad's August 4 departure to Sri Lanka.
The final decision will depend on his progress when bowling at full throttle, with a possible late link-up with the squad in Galle.
