If Jasprit Bumrah retires from Tests, then these 3 players can replace him in Team India
India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been a vital part of the Test team over the years, but now, questions are being raised about his future in the longest format of the game. Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif recently expressed concerns about Bumrah’s declining fitness and effectiveness in Test cricket. Kaif observed that Bumrah’s bowling speed has noticeably dropped—from consistently hitting 140 kmph to now hovering between 130-135 kmph. During the fourth Test against England in Manchester, Bumrah struggled both with the ball and physically. He took just one wicket and conceded over 100 runs—his worst performance in a Test match so far—and was seen clutching his leg during the game. Kaif believes that Bumrah’s body may no longer be able to handle the demanding workload of Test cricket, and hinted that the 31-year-old pacer might retire from the format sooner rather than later.

ENG vs IND 2025: ‘We are trying to give Kuldeep a chance’ – Morkel
India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel has defended the decision to exclude Kuldeep Yadav from India’s playing XI in the ongoing four-match Test series against England, stating that team balance and batting depth were the key considerations. With questions mounting over the absence of the wrist-spinner, especially after India’s bowling attack struggled during the fourth Test, Morkel emphasized that the coaching staff is aware of Kuldeep’s current form and are actively exploring ways to include him in the lineup. According to Morkel, Kuldeep’s inclusion would significantly alter the team's dynamics, especially in terms of batting depth, which is essential when playing against a side like England. “I think when he is included in the team, it is important to see how we can create balance and how we can make the batting order a little longer and stronger,” said Morkel, acknowledging the challenges of team selection in high-stakes matches.
