India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir says that he has not rejected the possibility of playing fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah in an attempt to avoid defeat in the final Test match against England this week.
The series has already played three Test matches in the series, which was the maximum limit set by the team management, as they returned to cricket in April after being out of the ground for three months due to a back injury.
India scared the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Sunday, but the hosts have a 2–1 lead in the five-match series.
Gambhir said: ‘We have not yet talked about the team’s order for the final exam.’
‘It is not decided whether Jasprit will play and not. Finally, whoever plays will play its role for the country. ,
Indian captain Shabman Gul indicated that Bamarah himself would decide on it.

He told the BBC: ‘If he feels that they are fully fit and available, then it will be very happy for us.’
In the fourth test, India landed on the field with a weak bowling lineup, as fast bowlers Akash Deep (Grone) and Arshdeep Singh (hand) were not available due to injuries.
All -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has already returned home due to a knee injury.
Anashal Kamboj started his test in Manchester, but Gambhir says that all fast bowlers will fit perfectly for the test starting on Thursday at the Oval.
Gambhir said: ‘All fast bowlers are fit, no one has a problem of injury.’
However, India will not be hired by wicketkeeper Batter Rashbh Pant, who is out of the last match of the series due to foot fracture while batting during India’s first innings in Manchester.
India’s performance has been added to this ongoing test series so far. Four matches have been played so far in the five-match series and England has a 2–1 lead, while one match is ready.
