Given Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness and Test cricket priority, he can be rested from the Asia Cup 2025. According to the NDTV report, the BCCI believes that it is necessary to keep them refreshed for the important matches of the World Test Championship.
Delhi: The workload management of the Indian team’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has become an important part of his career. In the current Test series against England, he played only three Tests and impressed everyone with his performance with five wickets twice. All this was part of the plan to maintain their fitness and prepare for the future.
BCCI source talked about Bumrah
India has no international contest in August, which will give a lot of rest to Bumrah. According to a report by NDTV, Bumrah Asia Cup cannot play in 2025 as there is a Test in Ahmedabad immediately after the West Indies.
A source associated with BCCI told the website, “This will be a difficult decision, but Bumrah likes Test cricket and the points of the World Test Championship are at stake. As far as T20 is concerned, he can play a series against New Zealand in January, which will be considered for the World Cup preparation.”
The source further said, “If Bumrah plays the Asia Cup and India goes to the final, he will not be able to play the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. So the question is whether Bumrah is needed against the West Indies or he should play in the Asia Cup and then take off in the Test against South Africa. This decision will be taken.
