Knee Injury Sidelines Bumrah for India vs England ODI
19 Jul
Summary
- Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the third ODI due to a knee injury.
- India has a poor ODI record at Lord's, not winning since 2004.
- India made three changes, while England made one to their lineup.
India faces a major setback in their pursuit of an ODI series victory in England, as pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been sidelined due to a knee injury. Captain Shubman Gill confirmed Bumrah's unavailability for the decisive third match at Lord's.
Bumrah sustained the injury while fielding during the second ODI in Cardiff, resulting in reactive swelling in his left knee. His absence is a considerable blow, especially as India aims to secure their first ODI series win in England since 2014. This marks Bumrah's return to ODIs after a break since the 2023 World Cup final.
India has introduced three changes to their playing XI, including the debut of Prince Yadav and the return of Arshdeep Singh in place of Bumrah. England also made one alteration, bringing back Josh Tongue. India's historical ODI record at Lord's is also a concern, with their last victory at the venue occurring in 2004.
