Jasprit Bumrah Likely to Miss India’s Test Series Against Sri Lanka Due to Knee Injury
India's premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting August 15 due to ongoing discomfort from a left-knee injury sustained during an ODI in July. Despite initial reports of clearing fitness tests, the BCCI medical team has advised extended recovery to avoid aggravation. Bumrah has not bowled since mid-July and received treatment including an injection. The Board is expected to name a replacement, with Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi emerging as a frontrunner. India faces multiple injury concerns ahead of the series.
