- Siraj is also on top of his game as he recently became the number-one bowler in ODI Rankings.
- The right-ram pacer also had a breakthrough Border Gavaskar Trophy last year, picking up over 15 wickets.
- Meanwhile, Shami has been the backbone of the Indian attack for four years now.
- The veteran has picked up over 200 wickets in Test matches and is the most experienced pacer in Bumrah’s absence.
IND vs AUS: When will Jasprit Bumrah likely to return to the Indian team
A BCCI official confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah won’t be rushed back to the Indian team. “It’s very unlikely that Jasprit will be at his 100% for the Australia series. One thing is certain, no matter which series we play, he won’t be rushed back again. Back injuries take time and rehab is a lengthy process. At this moment, he is unfit for selection and how long it will take for him to return is still doubtful. It will take another month or probably,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.
India are due to play Australia in four Test matches starting on February 9. India are the current holder of the Border Gavaskar Trophy winning the series in 2020-21.
