Mohammed Siraj on Jasprit Bumrah: The fourth match of the 5-match Test series between India and England will begin on July 23 at Old Trafford, Manchester. This match is extremely important for India as they are trailing 1-2 in the series. Team India will look to win this game and level the series at 2-2. Just before the match, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj addressed the media and shared a major update regarding the playing XI.
Several Indian players have been ruled out due to injury before this crucial Test. Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the last two Tests, while Arshdeep Singh is also unavailable for the fourth Test. Due to these injuries, there will be changes in the team. However, Mohammed Siraj gave fans a reason to cheer with his update on Jasprit Bumrah.

In the press conference, Siraj said that Jasprit Bumrah will be available for the fourth Test. “Jassi bhai (Bumrah) will play. Akash Deep has some groin trouble. He bowled today, and the physio will decide his final condition. Our bowling combination is changing, but our goal is to bowl in the right areas,” said Siraj.
This news comes as a big relief for Indian fans. Bumrah has been excellent in the series so far, taking 12 wickets in just 2 matches, including two five-wicket hauls. His presence will boost India’s chances in this must-win game.

India’s Record at Manchester a Concern
Although Bumrah’s return is a big plus, India will face another challenge. India has never won a Test match at Old Trafford, Manchester. It is a worrying record that Shubman Gill and his team will want to change this time. The team will need a strong effort from both batters and bowlers to create history and keep the series alive.
As the countdown to the match begins, all eyes will be on Bumrah and the Indian bowling attack.
