Bumrah Misses India's ODI Decider
Jasprit Bumrah, a key player for the Indian cricket team, had to sit out the important third ODI match against England at Lord's.
This was because he hurt his left knee while fielding in the previous match in Cardiff.
The team doctors said his knee was swollen, so they decided it was better for him to rest and not play.
Instead of Bumrah, another player named Arshdeep Singh played in his place.
The Indian team also made a few other changes, bringing back KL Rahul and adding Prince Yadav.
The team thought that using more fast bowlers would work better on the Lord's pitch.
England also made one change, bringing in Josh Tongue.
The series was tied 1-1, making this match very important for both teams.
