Veteran fast bowler of the Indian team Jasprit Bumrah was released after not being selected in playing-11 for the last match of the Test series against England. He played 3 matches in the 5 -match series, while very sharp questions were asked from social media to press conference. Every member of the Indian team is very cautious about this matter and is cleverly responding.

Shubman Gill was made the captain in place of Rohit Sharma.

Why is the question arising on Jaspreet Bumrah playing in the Asia Cup?

In the Manchester Test, Bumrah had to score more than 100 runs in an innings, while his speed was less than 140. In such a situation, now the question is whether Jaspreet Bumrah will be out of the Asia Cup 2025 to be held in September? Which is to be played in ODI format. Actually, the next work for the Indian team is the Asia Cup as the series against Bangladesh has been postponed. At that time Sri Lanka had proposed to play the series with India, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India probably refused.

According to reports, Bumrah can play in the Asia Cup, as it is to be played in T20 format, so they will not have much work pressure. At the same time, after this tournament, the Indian team has to play a Test series against the West Indies, which is to be on Indian earth. Now Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar will have to decide whether Jaspreet Bumrah is needed in that Test series. It is believed that if Jasprit Bumrah decides to play in the Asia Cup, he can be out of the Test series against the Windies.

What if Jaspreet Bumrah plays in the Asia Cup in 2025?

A BCCI source, aware of the Indian selection process, told PTI on the condition of anonymity that it would be a difficult decision, but Bumrah loves Test cricket and the World Test Championship points are at stake. As far as T20 is concerned, he can play a series against New Zealand in January, which will be a practice match for the T20 World Cup.

The source further said, “If Bumrah plays Asia Cup and suppose that India reaches the final, he will not be able to play against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. Naturally, the question arises whether you need Bumrah against West Indies or he should play Asia Cup after a month’s break and play two Test matches against South Africa and take two Tests against South Africa. Bumrah is not expected to play much ODI till the cup. “
