The 30-year-old has been a vital cog in India바카라™s bowling attack, has been ruled out of the Test, after failing to fully recover from a viral illness, and has been rested to manage the workload ahead of the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy. 

In Bumrah바카라™s absence, Mohammed Siraj has been slotted in, aiming to strengthen India바카라™s attack as the hosts look to survive a series white-wash.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also confirmed that Bumrah was unavailable for selection for the Wankhede Test. 

"Mr Jasprit Bumrah has not fully recovered from his viral illness. He was unavailable for selection for the third Test in Mumbai," BCCI posted.
