Will Jasprit Bumrah Birmingham play Test? Big disclosure from the report, BCCI told who will take this decision

Ind vs Eng: The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and England is to be played in Edgbaston from 2 July. But there is still suspense on the fact whether Team India’s most trusted fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play in this match or not.

Jasprit Bumrah available for Birmingham Test: After losing the first Test, Team India is now preparing to win the second Test. Let us tell you that the second Test match of Anderson Tendulkar Trophy 2025 is to be played from 2 July to 6 July. The Test match is to be played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. There is doubt about the playing of Jaspreet Bumrah.

In fact, before the commencement of this Test series, it was clear that Jasprit Bumrah would play only three matches in the five -match Test series against England. But now it is not clear which two matches he will not play. But it has become clear from the sources of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that who will decide whether Jasprit Bumrah will play Birmingham Test or not.

Why will Jasprit Bumrah not play five Test matches?

The team management is very cautious about Jaspreet Bumrah. In the last series against Australia, Bumrah suffered a back injury, after which he stayed out of the team for about four months. After the return, he himself made it clear that he would not play five Tests against England. Team management and BCCI also want Bumrah not to put too much overload.

Who will decide Jaspreet Bumrah’s Birmingham Test?

The first Test ended on 24 June and the second is scheduled to begin on 2 July. In such a situation, Bumrah has about a week’s rest. For this reason, a BCCI source told PTI, “If there is a week’s gap between the first and second Tests, then decide whether Bumrah will play or not, depends on the team of Gambhir, Agarkar and Gill. Bumrah’s fitness will be examined a day before the test and only then the final decision will be taken.”
