After having equalled the Test series 1-1 against England in Chennai, the series has shifted to Ahmedabad where the rest two Tests and the Twenty20 International series will be played before it will move to Pune for the three-match One Day International series. However, Team India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested for the white-ball series against England as part of the workload management programme.

However, Bumrah was rested for the second Test as well, which India won by a huge margin of 317 runs. But he will return in action for the rest two Test matches in Ahmedabad, which will decide who will face New Zealand in the inaugural World Test Championship final.

"Jassi has already bowled close to 180 overs, including nearly 150 overs (149.4 overs) in four Test matches (till first Test versus England) since the start of Australian tour. Add to that, the number of hours spent on the field. It is only logical that after these two Tests in Motera, where he will have a big role to play, he should be given rest for white ball leg," a senior BCCI official, prior to the developments, told PTI on condition of anonymity.

"Bhuvneshwar Kumar might make a comeback and Mohammed Shami after a break will play a few white ball games. Nattu (T Natarajan) and Saini will also come back in the white ball teams. As far as Jassi is concerned, he can well get ready playing 14 to 16 high intensity IPL games for Mumbai Indians," the source further added.

Meanwhile, the talented Mumbai player Suryakumar Yadav might be selected keeping the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind. However, the player was always overlooked despite having performed well continuously.
