Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will miss the fourth Test against England at Narendra Modi Stadium on Ahmedabad on March 4. The pacer requested the BCCI to be released on personal grounds and the board agreed.
“Jasprit Bumrah made a request to BCCI to be released from India’s squad ahead of the fourth Test owing to personal reasons. Accordingly, the fast bowler has been released and he will not be available for selection for the fourth Test,” said BCCI in a release.
However, there will be no replacement for Bumrah in the squad for the series decider against England. Bumrah was relaxed for the second Test after he took 4 wickets in the first Test in Chennai. He bowled only 6 overs in the pink-ball Test without picking up a wicket.
