Bumrah es poco probable para los ODI entre India e Inglaterra; Rohit-Kohli, Hardik Pandya y Shreyas Iyer

A week ago, InsideSport had reported that Jasprit Bumrah would be rested for the India vs England T20I series. However, until then, the pacer hadn’t suffered from back spasms. Taking this into effect, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to rest Bumrah for the ODI series as well. According to the Times of India, the BCCI had decided to ensure that Bumrah is fit for the ICC Champions Trophy; they’ll rest the unorthodox pacer from the only lead-up tournament that the India cricket team will play before the 8-team tournament.

“Jasprit has had a long tour. He needs rest before the important Champions Trophy. He will also play the IPL immediately after the Champions Trophy before the England series. So, we need to treat him carefully. T20Is are not in focus at the moment. So, the workload management plan will come into effect,” a senior BCCI official had told InsideSport.

Coming to the squad, InsideSport understands that the BCCI would announce the squad for the England white-ball series and the ICC Champions Trophy together. We had previously informed that by January 12, all nations will have to name their squad for the tournament taking place in Pakistan and the UAE.

 “The initial squad submission deadlines at our tournaments are 30 days (January 12) before the support periods start. The support periods start one week before the tournaments,” ICC had previously informed InsideSport.

This suggest by Sunday, we’ll have full clarity on the squad. It’s expected that Rohit Sharma would be the captain in ODIs, and after a bad Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli will also feature against England. The 50-over setup would continue to see Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya in action as well.
