Bumrah Out: India’s Oval Test Hit by Star Pacer’s Absence
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Friday, August 1, 2025, that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of India’s fifth and final Test against England.
The announcement came as a significant blow to the Indian team, currently engaged in the crucial match at the Kennington Oval in London.
No reason for Bumrah’s withdrawal was specified in the official BCCI statement. Speculation regarding his fitness is rife among cricket fans and analysts.
This unexpected development casts a shadow over India’s chances of securing a series victory. His absence leaves a considerable gap in the team’s bowling attack.
The impact of this late withdrawal will undoubtedly be keenly felt, affecting both the team’s strategy and its overall performance in the remaining innings. The match’s outcome now hangs precariously in the balance.
