Team India's senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be rested for the upcoming IND vs BAN two-match Tests, which starts on September 19.

According to a PTI report, BCCI believes that to mitigate injury risk and manage Jasprit Bumrah's workload, he should be rested for India-Bangladesh Test series and return for the New Zealand Test series. This would serve as ideal preparation before India’s five-match Test series in Australia.

"In case of Bumrah, he knows his body the best and it will be up to him if he wants to play in the Tests against Bangladesh. The team management and selectors are very clear that India needs a 120 per cent fit Jasprit Bumrah for all five Tests against Australia Down Under. Before that, there is New Zealand in India, where he will probably play and get ready for the sterner tests," a BCCI source told PTI.
