The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of India's Test series against Sri Lanka, with selectors saying they were initially told he would be available before a medical assessment found his injury more serious than expected.
- This has raised questions about the BCCI's fitness management system, as similar issues have occurred with players like Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
- The board held a review meeting on Monday involving VVS Laxman, selector chief Ajit Agarkar and secretary Devajit Saikia to examine the injury and fitness ecosystem.
- The sports science department head's post has also been unfilled since Nitin Patel's departure, and the team physio's role is reportedly under review.
What to watch next
