Jasprit Bumrah out of 3rd Test against New Zealand: News24 Report –

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be part of the upcoming third Test match against New Zealand in Mumbai, which starts on Friday. With India trailing 0-2 in the series, the decision to rest Bumrah comes as the team prepares for the intense five-match series against Australia. According to Indian Express, Bumrah has already returned to Ahmedabad and will rejoin the team for the Australia tour on November 10. In his absence, Mohammed Siraj is expected to take part in the final test.

A source mentioned to Indian Express: “He will not play the Mumbai Test and has flown back home. The Indian team management wanted him to get some rest so that he could recover his body.”

Head coach Gautam Gambhir: T20 format impacts batsmen’s defense, not spin skills

Gautam Gambhir, India’s head coach, addressed questions about the Indian batsmen’s ability to deal with spin, an issue highlighted by their recent 113-run defeat on a spin-friendly pitch in Pune. Gambhir refuted the idea that Indian players’ skills against spin have weakened, attributing the challenges more to the changing mentality of T20 cricket.

“I don’t think our anti-spin ability has diminished,” Gambhir said. He acknowledged Mitchell Santner’s excellent bowling in the last game but stressed that the Indian players are working hard in practice to improve. He added: “It’s results that matter in international cricket, but we are working hard in the nets and focusing on constant improvement.”
