Indian team's experienced fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is all set to return to the third Test match against England to be held at Lord's from July 10. Bumrah did not play in the second Test match played in Birmingham due to workload management, but after the match, captain Shubman Gill confirmed that he will be included in the playing-11 for the third Test.

After bowling, the batsman also practiced.

Bumrah has also started preparing for the third Test match and has sweated a lot during the nets session. He bowled for about 45 minutes and then also practiced batting with the left-arm spinner and throwdown specialist. Bumrah had told before the start of the series that he would play only three Test matches on this tour. Bumrah played in the first Test played in Leeds, but was rested in the second Test match. India has achieved a 1-1 draw in the five-match series by winning the second Test match.

Bumrah was seen discussing with the players.

India took part in the first training session before the third Test match. During this, Bumrah looked very positive and was seen constantly discussing with his teammates. It is almost certain that Bumrah will be included in the playing-11 in place of Prasidh Krishna. Bumrah participated in the training session with full capacity, but Arshdeep Singh worked harder than him. Arshdeep kept running for about an hour.

Some players did not participate.

It is believed that the pitch at Lord's will be challenging for the batsmen as compared to Birmingham. It will be interesting to see whether the Indian team will keep a playing-11 like Edgbaston, which will have two spinners, three bowlers, and Nitish Reddy as the option of the fourth fast bowler. Captain Gill, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Akash Deep, and Mohammad Siraj were among the players who did not participate in the training season.

Siraj was part of the playing-11 in the first two matches and bowled the most overs among the Indian bowlers. He always gives his 100 percent on the field, and India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak says that at some point his workload will have to be managed. Kotak said, Workload management is not just for Bumrah, but for every bowler. The fitness and issues of all bowlers are different, but I think there is a lot of rest between the matches. It has been a long time since the third Test, but Siraj has bowled a lot. Siraj's workload management depends on how much load he can bear. Our bowling coach ANC, is looking into it.
