Once the medical team completes its work, the team management will be informed on Bumrah’s fitness.

The first scan took place in January

Captain Rohit Sharma had said before Nagpur ODI against England that after receiving the report of the scan, the picture will be clear on Bumrah’s availability.

Who is not Bumrah?
In the first ODI against England, Mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty was given a chance in place of Jaspreet Bumrah. Now it remains to be seen whether Bumrah is not able to fit till the scheduled time, then the selectors choose the Mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty or the speed of Harshit Rana. Bumrah has been away from cricket since the crushing defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After swelling in the back, he was advised to comfort for five weeks. Since then he is away from action.
