Rest for Bumrah:

In this case, it has been reported that Bumrah is going to withdraw from the third Test match against England which starts on February 15 in Rajkot. Bumrah is not injured. It has been reported that he will be fired only for retirement. Similarly, Mukesh Kumar, who bowled badly in the second Test, is unlikely to be given a chance in the next Test.

Who is the alternative?

Mohammed Siraj, who retired during the second Test, will replace Bumrah in the third Test. It has been reported that Avesh Khan will be included as a replacement for Mukesh Kumar. In the absence of Mohammed Shami, both Bumrah and Siraj were forced to continue bowling. Even in the South African Test series, the Indian team relied on these two. BCCI said that they are giving rest alternately because they are playing continuously.

Will Shami play?
India’s star fast bowler Mohammed Shami has gone to England for treatment after sustaining a leg injury. He is said to be likely to regain fitness ahead of the IPL. Similarly, Ravindra Jadeja also suffered an injury during the first Test. As he is said to be likely to play only in the last Test, it is likely that he will make a comeback in the IPL as well.

What is the status of Virat Kohli?

Former India captain Virat Kohli, who is soon to be the father of his second child, has missed the first two Tests. The team for the last three matches will be announced this evening. However, Kohli is yet to announce any concrete answer. Due to this, there is no possibility of Kohli participating in the last three matches.
