Also, according to reports from Cricbuzz, he is set to not be picked for the 3 ODIs which will follow as well. This would mean Bumrah would next be seen in action only in the Indian Premier League.

While at first, it seemed like Bumrah’s workload was being managed by giving rest, reports have now emerged that that is not the case. It is not uncommon for India to give rest to all-format players as was evident when Bumrah was dropped from the T20I squad for the crucial series against Australia. But this time around, for the series against England, workload management does not seem to be the reason.
