Jasprit Bumrah passes fitness test; available for selection ahead of 3rd Test
Before the start of the Test series, two important players of Team India were injured. Jaspreet Bumrah was not able to play the T20 and ODI series due to injury, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also injured during the ODI series. For this reason, Bumrah was not selected in the team selected for the first three Tests. During the Test series, the back pain of Indian captain Virat Kohli reappeared at Lord’s. But now, from the 18th of August to the third match starting in Nottingham, there has been an update on the fitness of these three.
There is now a good news for the team India, worried about the defeat and the injury of the players. Jaspreet Bumrah has been declared fit for the third test match in Nottingham. Bumrah injured his thumb in the first T-20 match played in Dublin against Ireland in June. For this reason, he was out of the first two test matches as well as the Twenty20 series against England. On July 4, after injury, Bumrah was undergoing surgery in Leeds. After this he was seen bowing in practice session before the Test at Lord’s, but the team management did not want to rush him into the field. For this reason, he did not play in Lord’s but he is now fully fit for the third test match.
During the Lord’s Test Virat Kohli’s back pain once again became a problem for Team India. Kohli confirmed that he will be fine before the start of the third Test. However, he also said that he still has some difficulty in running between wickets, but he will try to 100% fit before the third test. In this way, Kohli will run against time to be completely fit for the third Test. Kohli had also participated in the gym session with all the players of the team yesterday.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is recovering from an injury in the national cricket academy of Bangalore after injury to England’s ODI series against England. During this time, Bhuvi appeared in the gym and exercised and this team is a good sign for India. Although Bhuvi is impossible to be selected in the third Test, he can make his place in the team for the last two Test matches. After the gym session, Bhubaneswar also shared these photos on his Instagram.
