Jasprit Bumrah passes fitness test, set to play Sri Lanka Test series

India received a major boost ahead of the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka after pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was declared fit to play both matches. According to PTI, the fast bowler has been cleared by the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru after recovering from the impact injury he sustained during the ODI series against England.

Bumrah had missed the third ODI at Lord's after picking up the injury and was included in India's Test squad



subject to clearing his fitness assessment. His availability comes as a timely relief for a side already dealing with multiple injury concerns ahead of the two-Test series beginning in Galle on August 15.

"Jasprit Bumrah has recovered from his impact injury. He has cleared the fitness Tests mandated by the COE. Hopefully he will be available for both games as he is integral to the team's plans," a senior BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
