New Delhi: The T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is over, which was won by the Indian team and now it is the turn of the ODI series, in which three matches will be played. The first match of the series will be played on January 10. Team India’s big players are returning to the ODI series. It includes names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, but the Indian team has suffered a major blow even before the ODI series begins. Now skipper Rohit Sharma will have to come out of this crisis, as the way the Sri Lankan team has performed in the T20 series has made it clear that the ODI series is not going to be easy either. Then the news is coming out that star play Jasprit Bumrah will not be seen in the team for the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka.
A day before the start of the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Team India has suffered a major setback. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who is returning from injury, has now been ruled out of this ODI series. Jasprit Bumrah was not previously included in the series, but the BCCI later announced his inclusion in the squad. Now once again he has been dropped from the team.
Jasprit Bumrah will be out
According to the information, Jasprit Bumrah has not yet reached Guwahati with the rest of the players where Team India is scheduled to play the first ODI on January 10. The ODI squad was changed by the BCCI on 3 January, when Jasprit Bumrah was included in the series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile it seemed that Jasprit Bumrah was fully fit and ready to play.
But BCCI does not want to take any risk with the ODI World Cup in mind. Perhaps this is the reason why Jasprit Bumrah has been kept out of the series at the last moment, so that there is no rush and he gets full time to return. Let us tell you that Rishabh Pant is already injured due to a car accident and his participation in the World Cup is still in doubt.
Let us tell you that Jasprit Bumrah is away from cricket action from September 2022. Then there was the T20 series at home against Australia, in which Jasprit Bumrah participated. After he was left out of the squad due to injury, Jasprit Bumrah did not participate in the Asia Cup, T20 World Cup 2022.
