If Bumrah doesn’t feel any discomfort in his back, there is hope that he may finally return to action for the final two Tests of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The third Test of the iconic India-Australia series will kick off at Dharamshala from March 1. “Yes, Bumrah has started bowling in the nets. Let’s hope all goes well and he’s declared fit,” said a reliable source.
Iyer not ruled out of 1st Test yet
Meanwhile, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is recovering from a niggle in the back, has still not been ruled out of the first Test.
“There’s very much a possibility that he will recover, as the first Test starts only on February 9 (in Nagpur). He’s suffering from a stiff back, not a major problem. He will try his level best to be fit for the series. No one ruled him out yet-certainly not the BCCI’s medical team at NCA,” a source said.
Team India will assemble in Nagpur on February 2 and train there (both at the old stadium at Civil Lines and at the new stadium in Jamtha) from February 3 to 8.
