Jasprit Bumrah was on Friday released from the squad for the ongoing fifth and final Test against England at The Oval, London. This comes amid concerns over his fitness and prior workload management plans set by the team management.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the development in an official statement: "Jasprit Bumrah has been released from India's squad for the fifth Test of the series against England. The fifth and final Test of the series is underway at Kennington Oval, London."

Bumrah has been India’s standout performer with the ball in the series so far, claiming 14 wickets at an average of just over 26, including two five-wicket hauls. However, despite his wicket tally, his performances with the new ball have been somewhat inconsistent by his high standards, especially when compared to his remarkable showing during India’s previous tour of Australia, where he picked up 32 wickets across five Tests at an astonishing average of just over 13.
