Jasprit Bumrah made a request to BCCI to be released from India’s squad ahead of the fourth Test owing to personal reasons. Accordingly, the fast bowler has been released and he will not be available for selection for the fourth Test.
This series marked Bumrah's first appearance in a home Test when he was part of the playing XI in the series opener in Chennai, which India lost by 227 runs. After a break of one Test, Bumrah was back in the squad and led the pace attack alongside Ishant Sharma in the third Test. However, Bumrah bowled only six overs in a match where spinners took 28 of the 30 wickets to fall on a deteriorating pitch. There will be no addition to India’s squad for the final Test.
