Jadeja & Bumrah Return: India Squad for SL Tests Named?
22 Jul
Summary
- Washington Sundar's hamstring injury raises selection concerns.
- Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are set to return to the squad.
- The BCCI selectors will meet this week to finalize the team for Sri Lanka.
The BCCI selectors are anticipated to convene this week to name the Indian squad for a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, commencing on August 15 in Galle. This series marks India's next assignment in the World Test Championships 2025-27 cycle.
A significant concern for the team is the hamstring injury sustained by all-rounder Washington Sundar during a recent ODI against England. His participation in the Sri Lanka series remains doubtful, pending medical clearance from the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
Positive news for Team India is the expected return of pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Both players have been crucial to India's Test success and their comeback will significantly strengthen the squad.
Spinning duties are likely to be handled by Harsh Dubey and Kuldeep Yadav. Should Sundar be unavailable, Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Saransh Jain is reportedly in contention for a maiden call-up, bringing his considerable first-class experience to the fore.
