Bumrah Set To Miss England ODIs, Will Join Mumbai Indians' Camp Directly

Pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah's wedding has turned a blessing in disguise, allowing him a welcome break ahead of a hectic schedule that comprises the Indian Premier League (IPL), the tour of England

With Bumrah, since he has been outside the bubble, he will have to serve another period of quarantine.

Bumrah's workload has been a concern for India ever since he returned from a lower-back injury back in early 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic provided a break but on his return, he played the 2020 IPL and bowled 60 overs in that tournament.

After that, he was on board the flight to Australia where he suffered a strain in the abdomen and had to be rested for the fourth and final Test after playing the first three Test matches.

The right-arm pace bowler has bowled 277.1 overs over the last five months.

The workload for India and his franchise in the past few months and the subsequent long season ahead with IPL, the tour of England, and the T20 World Cup has been a concern considering his injuries in recent times.
