Jasprit Bumrah: Aaqib Nabi has been named in the Indian team to replace the injured Jasprit Bumrah for the two-match Test series in Sri Lanka. So, let's find out when Bumrah will return.

When will Jasprit Bumrah return?

India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting August 15th. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced his replacement on Monday (August 3rd). Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Aaqib Nabi replaced him in the squad. So far, everything is fine, but the question remains: how long will it take for Bumrah to return?

Bumrah's injury has always been a major problem for Team India. His absence significantly destabilizes the team. So, let's find out how long it will take for Bumrah to return. Before that, let's mention that Bumrah suffered a left knee injury during the second ODI against England in Cardiff. He has not fully recovered from the injury.

How much time will it take for Bumrah to return?

According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, Bumrah arrived at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence last week for fitness tests. The medical team there acknowledged that if Bumrah resumes bowling immediately, he risks being out for a longer period of time, which could worsen the problem.

No date or date has been set for Bumrah's return, but it's clear that he could be out for some time. The Indian board will not want to rush into any decisions regarding Bumrah.

There was a fitness problem even before the IPL.

Bumrah previously visited the Centre of Excellence to participate in the IPL, where he received fitness clearance just before the season opener against the Mumbai Indians. His repeated injuries are not a good sign for Team India.
