Jasprit Bumrah WTC 2025 : The World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 has started. Team India is going to start WTC from 20 June. When she will land to play the first Test match against England in the field of Leeds. This time Team India will play Test series against England without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin. In such a situation, the Indian team led by Shubman Gill will have a tough test on English soil. During this, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has talked about playing three Test matches of Jaspreet Bumrah, on which captain Shubman Gill has also given his opinion.
Bumrah can play in these matches
Former India wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik said that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is not fully fit yet. In such a situation, they need enough rest. Bumrah suffered a back injury during the tour of Australia. Because of this, he did not participate in the Champions Trophy. On Bumrah’s fitness, Dinesh Karthik said that the risk of feeding him in five Tests will not take the team management. Therefore, they should feed the match according to the condition of the pitch.
Karthik has advised to feed Bumrah in Leeds’ Headingley (first Test match), Edgbaston (second Test match) and Manchester Test (fourth Test match). Because there is a week’s gap between this Test matches, which will give Bumrah enough rest. Dinesh Karthik said during a podcast that whatever I have heard, I think he has been sent to play three Tests, but I think he should play first, second and fourth Test matches, because he will get enough breaks between them. Team India captain Shubman Gill has also said a lot about Bumrah.
What did Gill say about Bumrah?
Captain Gill said about Bumrah’s playing that the possibility of rain is also being expressed during the series. Therefore, we will decide the match rate match ahead. Apart from this, it has to be seen how much workload is on Bumrah. We do not want to keep everything in advance. His fitness will decide which match he will play or not.
