Guwahati: Another change in the Indian team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been left out of the team for the ODI series. Bumrah, who was not in the announced team, was later included in the team by the selection committee. But just before the first match of the ODI series, Bumrah was dropped from the team.
Although he was in the squad for the ODI series, Bumrah was not included in the Indian squad for the first ODI in Guwahati tomorrow. The BCCI has decided not to allow Bumrah to play competitive cricket too soon considering the upcoming important series after recovering from injury. In this case, Bumrah will not be considered for the ODI series even though he has not been officially ruled out. It is suggested that this is the reason why Bumrah did not come to Guwahati with the team.
Even if he is hungry, he comes to watch the game with devotion to the game, says Pannian against the sports minister’s statement
The selection committee is of the opinion that it would not be appropriate to rush Bumrah in the one-day series against Sri Lanka as he has to play the Test series against Australia next month. Bumrah is now being excluded based on the recommendation of the National Cricket Academy. Bumrah, who was injured during the series against England in July last year, recovered from the injury before the T20 World Cup and returned to the team for the T20 series against Australia.
But Bumrak was injured again in the second match against Aussies and missed the T20 World Cup completely. Bumrah, who was away from cricket for three months, was included in the team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka after proving his athleticism. Bumrah, who was not in the team at first, was later considered by the selectors. The ODI series against Sri Lanka consists of three matches. Thiruvananthapuram will play the third ODI on the 15th.
