With Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw all set to travel to England for the Indian team’s five-match Test series, fans, critics, and experts expected fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar too to be in the team. While initially there were rumors that he won’t play in the red-ball format, later Kumar cleared the air by stating he will play in the longest format of the game for India sooner rather than later.

The 31-year-old last donned the whites for India in 2018 against South Africa. Since then, he has been hit by injuries, which has made his return to the Test team a bit difficult. Young fast bowlers such as Mohammed Siraj, T Natarajan, and Shardul Thakur too have entered the scene, which has made selectors choosing Kumar a bit of a problem.

Now it has been learned that a call on Bhuvneshwar Kumar playing in the red-ball format will be taken after the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021. If sources are to be believed, then the right-hand bowler’s name was also discussed as a replacement player for the England series as well as, the World Test Championship (WTC) Final.

“The board had a discussion with Bhuvneshwar. It has been decided that he won’t be pushed to play Test cricket before the T20 World Cup. He has to first play three-four First-Class games. He hasn’t played a longer format for over three years. There’s a chance of him breaking down if he suddenly resumes playing Test cricket,” a top BCCI official told TOI.
