India won the series against England. The last test is just a rule of thumb. But looking at the World Test Championship, no Test is to be taken lightly. So India will want to beat England in the Dharamshala Test as well. And Bumrah can return to the team in that test.
Bumrah was laid to rest in Ranchi. India won the Test without him. Bumrah continues to play cricket. That is why the board decided to rest him. According to sources, Bumrah will be brought back again in the fifth Test. Bumrah has already taken 17 wickets in this series. That number may increase in hospice.
In the absence of Bumrah, Akash Deep made his debut in Ranchi. The Bengal pacer caught the eye in the first Test. Bumrah may have to sit out if he returns to the team in Dharamshala. But if Dharamshala’s pitch is pace-friendly then India can play with three pacers. Akash can also play with Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in that case. It depends on the pitch of the hospice though.
