India rests Bumrah to protect his future
in5points
Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the Sri Lanka Test series on Monday due to a knee injury from the ODI series against England.
The BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru advised further rest, rejecting options to delay Bumrah's arrival or have him travel with the squad.
India prioritized Bumrah's long-term fitness over the Sri Lanka Tests, given the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup and away tours to New Zealand and Australia.
Bumrah had previously been cleared for the IPL after conditioning work at the Centre of Excellence, but his knee issue aggravated.
