Jasprit Bumrah is not playing in the fifth Test against England primarily due to a knee injury. Although it was initially thought that workload management was the reason for him playing only three matches in the five-Test series, reports and BCCI officials clarified that a knee injury, which is not major and does not require surgery, kept him out. The BCCI medical team is monitoring his condition with scan reports pending. The decision to rest him was also influenced by the need to safeguard his long-term fitness, especially with important upcoming tournaments like the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. Bumrah's management involves a clear plan to handle his workload carefully due to his injury history and body condition.
