Jasprit Bumrah and Three India Players to Undergo Fitness Tests Before Afghanistan T20Is
India's pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah, along with Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar, and Nitish Reddy, will undergo match simulations at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence from September 4 to 9 to assess their fitness ahead of the T20I series against Afghanistan starting September 13 in New Delhi. The BCCI medical team has reported these players as clinically fit but requires practice match evaluations. The crowded cricket calendar has been noted as a factor in recent injuries, prompting considerations for a revised Future Tours Programme to allow better player rest.
