On the other hand, on the eve of the ODI series opener, Cricbuzz reported that the Indian board does not want to rush Bumrah back, so he will not play in the ODI series.
    According to BCCI sources, a request has been made not to rush him into action. According to the report, He is not among the players who have reached Guwahati, the venue for the first ODI.
    When Bumrah played the final two Twenty20 Internationals against Australia at home, he was rushed back from an injury before the T20 World Cup.
    The 29-year-old was unable to compete in the marquee tournament due to a back injury. Having learned from its previous error, the BCCI decided to delay the pacer’s return to action.

    However, the Indian board’s sudden decision to drop Bumrah from the series disappointed fans. Some even made fun of the Indian cricket board for trying to keep the pacer for the IPL (Indian Premier League) that is about to start.
    Last year, Bumrah had played in 15 different formats. He missed important tournaments because India didn’t win the Asia Cup or the T20 World Cup. India would want him to be fit and ready for the ODI World Cup later this year because he could be the X-factor in crucial games last year.
