Bumrah Out of Sri Lanka Tests, COE Rehab Under Scrutiny
Jasprit Bumrah, a top Indian bowler, can’t play the Sri Lanka Tests because his left knee hurt.
He was at a special training centre in Bengaluru to get better, but doctors think rushing him back could cause more problems.
The Indian cricket board decided to keep him out to avoid risking his health.
They might pick another bowler, like Auqib Nabi, to fill his spot.
Some people think the training centre is too quick, while others worry about the team’s chances without Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of Sri Lanka Tests from August 15 due to a left knee injury.
He has been undergoing rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The BCCI decided not to risk his return because of the team's packed schedule.
Other players, such as Washington Sundar and Harshit Rana, also suffered injuries after COE rehab.
The board may select Auqib Nabi or other bowlers to replace Bumrah in the series.
