“Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep won’t be playing together in the remaining two Tests,” the source added.

“It was decided before the tour that Bumrah will only play three Tests in this series, and now with Akash’s back niggle flaring up, we can’t see both of them playing in the XI together.”

“If Bumrah plays in Manchester, then Akash will sit out. At The Oval, Akash will replace Bumrah,” the source added.

Meanwhile India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has pointed out Arshdeep’s injury would impact India’s planning, and Akash Deep’s injury has worsened their situation.
