Jasprit Bumrah To Skip Asia Cup 2025: Reports

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah was released from the fifth Test against England at the Oval as he was not named in the playing XI, with Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna coming into the match to partner Mohammed Siraj. 

Overall, Bumrah played three of the five Tests against England to manage his workload. However, according to reports, the fast bowler will now not play in the Asia Cup next month, and instead will play the Test series against the West Indies.

"It will be a tricky call, but Bumrah loves Test cricket and there are World Test Championship points at stake. As far as T20 is concerned, he can play the series against New Zealand in January, which will be a dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup," a BCCI source with Indian selection process told PTI. 

"If Bumrah plays Asia Cup and suppose India plays the final, no way can he play against West Indies at Ahmedabad. Obviously, the question arises, do you need Bumrah against the West Indies, or he plays Asia Cup after a month's break and plays the two Tests against South Africa? That call, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir will have to take."

Bumrah picked up 14 wickets at 26 in three Tests against England and could next be seen in action against West Indies for the two-match Test series, starting October 2.
