The India tour of Sri Lanka is all set to commence from 15 August, and the Indian fans finally have some good news. Even though various players have suffered an injury and are unavailable for national selection, one of them has cleared the fitness tests. And it is none other than Boom boom, Jasprit Bumrah.
Bumrah suffered with an injury in the ODI series against England and even missed out on the final ODI. His name was present in the squad for Sri Lanka Tests, but his availability was subject to fitness in the series. The Indian pacer was also set to take the fitness test by the end of July at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.

Our Take
Jasprit Bumrah's availability for the Test series against Sri Lanka comes as a massive boost for the Indian cricket team. After a long time, fans will be able to watch the duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the longest format of the game. With them spearheading the pace department, Sri Lanka batters will have something to fear with in every moment of the game.
