According to reports, Jasprit Bumrah has been declared fully fit and is expected to be available for both Test matches if no last-minute issues arise.

The return of Jasprit Bumrah comes at a critical time for Team India. The side is aiming to revive its World Test Championship campaign and needs strong performances in the remaining matches to stay in contention for a place in the WTC Final.
As one of the world’s leading fast bowlers, Bumrah’s experience, pace, and ability to take wickets in any conditions make him a key asset for India’s plans in Sri Lanka.
