# Jasprit Bumrah’s Knee Injury Revives India Workload Debate 2026-08-13T09:54:47+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Jasprit Bumrah missed India’s final ODI against England after an impact injury caused reactive swelling in his left knee. He received an injection and rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, but discomfort persisted, according to m9.news. He was then ruled out of the Sri Lanka Test series, with Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi replacing him. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra backed the decision to rest Bumrah rather than select him for every match. Reports cited by m9.news suggest India may eventually use Bumrah mainly in T20Is after the 2027 ODI World Cup. NDTV Sports, however, reports that an ex-India star blamed the captain, coach and selectors for the injury. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com - m9.news Tags: India cricket, injury, Jasprit Bumrah, selectors, workload management Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ex-india-star-blames-captain-coach-selectors-for-bumrah-injury/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
