Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of Sri Lanka Test series due to knee injury

Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the upcoming two-game Test series against Sri Lanka. It is worth noting that India will take on Sri Lanka across two Test matches, with the first Test being held at the Galle International Stadium on August 15. 

Ahead of the series, team India have been hit with a major blow as Bumrah will be unavailable for the upcoming series. It is worth noting that Bumrah was selected in the India squad for the series but was selected subject to his fitness, as he was completing his recovery from a knee



injury. 

It is worth noting that Bumrah has not featured for India since the second ODI of the recent series against England. He was ruled out of the final ODI of the series at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) attributed his absence in the third ODI to an impact injury that he sustained in the second ODI of the series while fielding. The development of Bumrah’s injury and being ruled out comes just after reports emerged that the star pacer has been cleared to play in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
