India Secures Test Series Win Bumrah Rested, Rahul Injured, Shami Undergoes Surgery
Bumrah was rested from the fourth Test, which India won by five wickets and clinched the series with an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
Meanwhile, top-order batter KL Rahul remained unavailable for selection due to a quadricep tendon injury and is currently in London to consult with doctors.
“The BCCI medical team is closely monitoring him and coordinating with specialists in London for further management of his issue,” Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
The BCCI also shared an update about the injured pacer Mohammed Shami who missed the Test series owing to a heel injury and underwent surgery recently.
“He is recovering well and will soon head to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to commence his rehabilitation process,” Shah said of Shami.
