Jasprit Bumrah will miss many major tournaments
Bumrah, who was included in the squad named for the one-day tournament against Sri Lanka, was removed from the tournament yesterday (9) by the official announcement issued by the country’s cricket governing body. Sources also say that there is a high chance that he will miss the Test series to be held against Australia.
Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the Test series against Australia as he will need to rest for at least another month due to a muscle strain in his right leg. Bumrah suffered the injury while recovering from the injury ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup and returning to the Indian ODI squad.

After the selection committee belatedly included Bumrah in the squad for the three ODIs against Sri Lanka, the Indian team management was optimistic about playing against Australia, but it was revealed that Bumrah had not travelled to Guwahati for the series with the rest of the squad.
With the ODI World Cup in India in October-November, it is clear that the management is also taking a very cautious approach to Bumrah’s fitness. Bumrah’s persistent injuries have caused him to miss many major tournaments, including the World Twenty20 and the Asia Cup.

Nuwan Thushara Set to Miss IPL 2026 After SLC NOC Refusal
Nuwan Thushara is set to miss the upcoming IPL 2026 season in a significant setback for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) declined to issue him a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
The decision comes following SLC’s latest policy requiring all centrally contracted players to meet strict fitness standards before being cleared for overseas franchise leagues. Thushara reportedly failed to reach the required fitness benchmarks, leading to uncertainty over his participation and eventual exclusion.
RCB had secured the services of the Sri Lankan pacer for approximately INR 1.6 crore, viewing him as a valuable addition to their pace attack. However, his absence could now force the franchise to rethink their squad composition ahead of the tournament.
Interestingly, reports indicate that Thushara is not carrying any injury and remains available to bowl. Despite this, concerns over his overall fitness levels falling short of SLC’s criteria have ultimately ruled him out of the competition.
During his stint with RCB, Thushara featured in just one match, largely serving as a backup option. He made a notable impact in that appearance, returning figures of 1 for 26 with an impressive economy rate of 6.50, showcasing his potential when called upon.
