India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will miss the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. The series begins with the first Test at the Galle International Stadium on August 15. Ahead of the series, team India have been hit with a major blow as Bumrah will be unavailable for the upcoming series.
Jasprit Bumrah Ruled Out of Sri Lanka Test Series Due to Injury
It is worth noting that Bumrah was selected in the India squad for the series but was selected subject to his fitness, as he was completing his recovery from a knee injury. It is worth noting that Bumrah has not featured for India since the second ODI of the recent series against England. He was ruled out of the final ODI of the series at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
The BCCI said Bumrah missed the third ODI after suffering an impact injury while fielding in the second match of the series. His latest injury setback came shortly after reports claimed that the star fast bowler had been cleared to play in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
The two-match Test series will begin with the first Test in Galle on August 15. The second and final Test will be played in Colombo from August 23.
