Bumrah released from team over ‘personal reasons’, to miss 4th Test
Ahmedabad : India will be without pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the final Test against England after the 27-year-old was released from the squad for personal reasons, the BCCI said on Saturday.
The right-arm seamer took four wickets in the opening Test in Chennai but was rested for the second match, which India won to level the series.
Bumrah returned to play his first test at his home ground in Ahmedabad, where India triumphed inside two days to go 2-1 up in the four-match series.
“Jasprit Bumrah made a request to BCCI to be released from India’s squad ahead of the fourth Test owing to personal reasons,” the board said.
“Accordingly, the fast bowler has been released and he will not be available for selection for the fourth test,” it added.
India have decided not to add any player to cover for his absence for the final Test, also in Ahmedabad from Thursday.
Bumrah had a limited role in the third Test, where spinners Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin wreaked havoc.
The bowler has been inside bio-secure bubble since August prior to the Indian Premier League in the UAE. After the IPL, he went to Australia, where India clinched a historic Test series win last month. He took 11 wickets from three matches in Australia but did not play in the series-clinching Brisbane Test due to an abdominal strain.
