In the second Test match of the series, Jasprit Bumrah was rested and did not play at Edgbaston. The Indian team management took the decision to manage his workload in the five-game series against England.
Before the start of the series against the Three Lions, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed that Bumrah wouldn't be able to play all five matches of the Test series due to his fitness problems.
Jasprit Bumrah Set To Return At Lord's Test
However, before the start of the Lord's Test, Jasprit Bumrah was seen practicing at nets. According to PTI, Bumrah bowled 'roughly for 45 minutes' during the practice session and then focussed on batting.
It is likely Prasidh Krishna will make his way out from the India Playing Eleven to make space for Jasprit Bumrah, as stated by PTI.
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh spent almost one hour at nets before the start of the Lord's Test.
