The report said that in view of Jasprit Bumrah‘s long term availability, he will be rested from the Oval Test as a precaution. It is worth noting that it was decided before the series that Bumrah would play the first, third and fifth matches. But due to it being a do or die match, Bumrah took the field in Manchester. But throughout the match, he seemed to be deviating from his original rhythm. Considering his importance in a big tournament like the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, he may get rest.
He looked tired in the Manchester Test…

Jasprit Bumrah was also seen leaving the field a couple of times in the Manchester Test due to fatigue. For this reason, we may not see him playing the last match. However, no official information has come from any member of Team India and BCCI on this yet. But it has been told quoting the report that Bumrah will not play the last Test. After the Manchester Test was drawn, captain Shubman Gill also did not give a direct answer about him.
Arshdeep Singh may get a debut
Now if we talk about who will play in place of Jasprit Bumrah, then Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to debut. Akashdeep can also be fit for the last Test match, it has been claimed in many media reports. That is, Mohammad Siraj can be seen in the role of senior pacer. At the same time, Arshdeep can get the debut cap in place of Bumrah. Apart from this, Akashdeep can return to the team in place of Anshul Kamboj.
