Jasprit Bumrah Out of T20 Series vs England

Jasprit Bumrah will miss India's upcoming T20 series against England due to back spasms sustained during the final Test against Australia, while Mohammed Shami returns after over a year of injury recovery. The T20 series runs from January 22 to February 2, followed by a three-match ODI series. Bumrah's absence is notable, as he was India's leading wicket-taker in the recent Test series, which India lost 3-1. Rishabh Pant is also omitted from the squad, likely for rest, with Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel as the wicketkeeping options. The Indian team will be captained by Suryakumar Yadav, with Shami expected to bolster the bowling attack. The squad's composition may serve as preparation for the Champions Trophy set to follow the series.
