What's going on with Bumrah Injury Rule Out

Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi, 29, was named in India's squad for the two Tests in Sri Lanka as a replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah.

Nabi was the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy with 60 wickets, helping J&K win their maiden title.

He previously played two first-class games in Galle, Sri Lanka, taking six wickets.

Despite selection, Nabi may not debut as India are unlikely to play three pacers, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna preferred.

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.

Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss India's two-Test series in Sri Lanka in August.

The BCCI medical team advised more recovery time for his left-knee issue.

Bumrah has not bowled since the second ODI against England on July 16.

Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the two-Test series against Sri Lanka due to a knee injury.

Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi is reportedly set for his maiden India call-up.

The report reveals the pacer's potential inclusion in the squad.
