India set to rest star paceman Jasprit Bumrah for fourth Test against England

ENGLAND may get a break from Jasprit Bumrah in Ranchi as India are set to rest their star paceman for the fourth test, which starts on Friday.

It is understood that the world’s number one-ranked test bowler did not travel with India’s squad as the two teams travelled from Rajkot to the Jharkhand capital on a charter flight today.

While there has been no definitive confirmation that Bumrah will miss out, he has been the only frontline fast bowler from either side to be an ever-present in the series so far and there is just a four-day turnaround between the end of the third test and start of the fourth.
