India will be without pace ace Jasprit Bumrah for the side’s fourth Test against England, set to take place in Ranchi from Friday, confirmed BCCI in a press release on Tuesday.
BCCI also added that middle-order batter KL Rahul will continue to be unavailable due to an injury sustained in the first Test of the series. The 31-year-old’s participation in the final Test in Dharamsala is again subject to a fitness test.
Mukesh Kumar, who was released from the squad for the third Test in Rajkot, has joined the squad in Ranchi. Bumrah, who is the leading wicket-taker in the series, with 17 scalps, is likely to return to the side for the final Test.
India currently leads the series 2-1, having bounced back from a morale-sapping defeat in the opener in Hyderabad.
India took the series lead in the third match in Rajkot by registering its biggest Test win (by runs).
