However, no addition is made to India’s squad as Bumrah’s replacement for the final Test.

In the ongoing Test series, Bumrah played two Tests in which he picked four wickets all of which came up in the first Test. He also missed the second Test as a part of the workload management policy. While in the third Test, he bowled only six bowlers in the entire game as the pitch was helping spinners which resulted in India’s favour as they won the match by 10 wickets.

India are currently leading the series 2-1 aggregate and a win or draw to seal their place in the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand.

The fourth Test will begin on March 4 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahemdabad.

India’s squad for the 4th Test: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ishant Sharma, Md.
