Indian cricket team star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is not playing the fifth Test match against England. He is not a part of the Indian playing XI in the fifth and final match of the series being played at Kennington Oval. Actually, he has been released from Team India. Now the news has come that it is difficult for Bumrah to play in the 2025 Asia Cup.
Let us know that Bumrah played only three Test matches of the five -match Test series against England. He had already made it clear that he would play only 3 Tests in this series. Bumrah was also released from the team on Friday. Surprisingly, Bumrah did not even attend the practice session at Kennington Oval. While Ben Stokes is not playing in this Test, but Stokes remains with the team to boost the morale of his team and he also participated in the practice session, but Jasprit Bumrah did not do so. This raises many questions.
Bumrah may be out of Asia Cup under workload
Bumrah can also be out of the Asia Cup under the workload. Let us know that 2025 Asia Cup will be played in T20 format. Actually, the final of the Asia Cup will be played on 29 September. At the same time, from October 2, Team India has to play a Test series against the West Indies. In such a situation, he can miss the Asia Cup.
News agency PTI quoted the BCCI source as saying, “This will be a difficult decision. Bumrah likes Test cricket and the World Test Championship points are also at stake. As far as T20 is concerned, he can play in the series against New Zealand in January, which will be a dress rehearsal for T20 World Cup.”
Test series against West Indies or 2025 Asia Cup
In this report, the BCCI source was further written as saying, “If Jasprit Bumrah plays in the 2025 Asia Cup, then he will not be able to play a Test match against the West Indies played in Ahmedabad. Everyone knows that Bumrah is needed against the West Indies. It may be that he can play the Asia Cup and rest in Test Series against the West Indies.”
