For the 4th Test Match, Jasprit Bumrah was released from the squad; KL Rahul was ruled out due to injury
The India cricket team will be without pace ace Jasprit Bumrah for the side’s fourth Test against England, set to happen in Ranchi on Friday, confirmed BCCI in a press release.
BCCI also added that middle-order batter KL Rahul will continue to be unavailable due to an injury sustained in the first Test of the series. The 31-year-old’s participation in the final test in Dharamshala is again subject to a fitness test.
Mukesh Kumar, who was released from the squad for the third Test in Rajkot, has joined the squad in Ranchi. Bumrah, who is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 17 scalps, is likely to return to the side for the final Test.
Team India currently leads the series 2-1, having bounced back from a morale-sapping defeat in the opener in Hyderabad. India took the series lead in the third match in Rajkot by registering its biggest Test victory.
