India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is reportedly set to miss the fourth Test against England. Due to the high workload, this star pacer is reportedly set to be rested. Although Bumrah is fit, the team management wants to reduce the workload on him. After the Test series, Indian players have to participate in the IPL and T20 World Cup. It is crucial for Team India that Bumrah remains fit in the upcoming three months. With this, there are high chances of this star pacer missing the fourth Test to be held in Ranchi.
