Jasprit Bumrah, India's premier fast bowler, has been retained in the squad for the ongoing 2025 Asia Cup, despite concerns about his workload ahead of the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed that Bumrah is unlikely to be rested during the remaining matches of the Asia Cup, including the Super Four clash against Pakistan and, if India advances, the final on September 28. This decision underscores the team's strategy to maintain a full-strength lineup for both the Asia Cup and the forthcoming Test series. Bumrah's inclusion is pivotal, as he remains India's lone frontline pacer in the Asia Cup. His performance has been under scrutiny, with three wickets at an economy rate of 8.36 in the tournament thus far. Despite these figures, the team management is closely monitoring his workload, especially following his back injury earlier this year. The emphasis is on balancing his participation in the Asia Cup with preparations for the Test series, ensuring he is in optimal condition for both formats. #JaspritBumrah #AsiaCup2025 #IndianCricket #TeamIndia #BCCI #CricketNews #FastBowler #WorkloadManagement #Newsone #CricketUpdates @bcci
