Jasprit Bumrah had to leave Team India during the last match of the 5 -match Test series against England. The team management took this important decision to manage their workload. Now during the Test series against England, a big report about him is coming out. According to this report, Jasprit Bumrah will not be seen playing in the Asia Cup 2025. The Asia Cup is starting from 9 September and according to the report, Jaspreet Bumrah will either participate in this tournament or he will give importance to Test cricket.
Will Bumrah not play in Asia Cup?
In fact, the final of the Asia Cup will be played on 29 September and Team India is to play the first Test match against the West Indies from October 2 to October 6 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. A BCCI source told PTI that if Bumrah plays the Asia Cup, he will not be able to participate in the Test series against the West Indies. The source said, “If fast bowlers play in the Asia Cup and Team India makes its place in the final, then the question will definitely arise whether Bumrah will play Test series against West Indies or give importance to the Asia Cup.”
The source further said, ‘If Bumrah plays in the Asia Cup, then he will be given a month’s break and then he can be seen playing two Test matches against South Africa. Its decision is to be decided by Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir. This decision will be very important because Bumrah likes Test cricket and the points of the World Test Championship are also necessary. As far as T20 cricket is concerned, he can play a series against New Zealand in January so that they will also be prepared for T20 World Cup 2026.
Performance in Test series against England
It will also be very important for Jaspreet Bumrah to take this decision. He has participated in three matches in the five -match Test series against England. In these three matches, he has taken 14 wickets at an average of 26. It was already announced that Indian fast bowlers will take part in only three matches in the Test series against England. Now in the Asia Cup 2025, it will be very important to see what is decided about Jaspreet Bumrah.
