Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will miss the upcoming Sri Lanka tour, leaving the Indian team with several gaps to fill.
Jasprit Bumrah, the spearhead of India’s pace attack, will not be part of the squad touring Sri Lanka.
His absence leaves the team with a void in both death‑over bowling and leadership on the field.
India will have to rely on younger pacers and adjust bowling plans to compensate for the missing experience.
The decision adds an extra layer of difficulty for the selectors as they prepare for a series that could be pivotal for the team’s future.
