Bumrah Ruled Out of Sri Lanka Tests as Nabi Earns Maiden Call-Up

Medical staff in Bengaluru determined knee swelling too severe to risk on slow pitches, opening a roster spot for Jammu and Kashmir seamer Auqib Nabi.

Jasprit Bumrah will miss the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka after medical staff determined his knee injury had not healed sufficiently for international play. The decision, confirmed by four publishers across August 2 and August 3, removes India’s primary pace bowler from a tour beginning August 15 and elevates Jammu and Kashmir seamer Auqib Nabi to his first national squad selection [1][4]. No return timeline has been published for Bumrah, and the record carries no indication of whether Nabi is being positioned as a starter or traveling cover.
