Jasprit Bumrah Likely To Miss Series-Deciding Oval Test Against England

Indian cricket team star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the series-deciding fifth Test encounter against England at The Oval starting Thursday, according to sources. Bumrah played the first, third and fourth Test in the five-match series against England while he was rested for the match at Edgbaston. Ahead of the series, BCCI made it clear that Bumrah will not play all the five matches and he is likely to be replaced by Akash Deep in the playing XI. "The BCCI medical team has told Bumrah that the decision is in line with safeguarding his back and keeping the long-term in mind," reported ESPNCricinfo.
