India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is likely to return for the crucial fourth Test against England in Manchester, with assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate saying that ‘it is pretty obvious’ with the series being ‘on the line’, but a final call will be taken close to the must-win game, starting July 23.

Addressing the media after India’s training session in Beckenham, held in the aftermath of a morale-shaking defeat at Lord’s, Doeschate said that multiple factors will be considered before making the call on Bumrah’s return.

"We`ll make that call in Manchester. We know we`ve got him for one of the last two tests. I think it`s pretty obvious the series is on the line now in Manchester, so there will be a leaning towards playing him," said Doeschate.
