India Assesses Fitness of Bumrah and Others Ahead of Afghanistan T20I Series
India's upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan, scheduled from September 13 to 17, faces uncertainty over the fitness of key players Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Washington Sundar. All four are undergoing match simulation tests between September 4 and 9 at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence to assess readiness. Bumrah, recovering from a knee injury sustained in July, may also play a Ranji Trophy or India A match before the New Zealand Test series. Prince Yadav is considered a backup option if Bumrah is unfit.
