Bumrah To Miss England T20 Series But Shami Back

Share

Jasprit Bumrah will miss India's upcoming T20 international series against England but fellow fast bowler Mohammed Shami returns after more than a year out with injury.

World champions India host England in five T20s from 22 January to 2 February, followed by a three-match one-day international series.

Bumrah, 31, suffered back spasms during the fifth and final Test in Australia earlier this month and was unable to bowl during the second innings as the hosts secured a 3-1 series win to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Shami has not played for India since defeat by Australia in the 50-over World Cup final in November 2023.

The 34-year-old subsequently had ankle surgery and has dealt with knee issues.
