One special moment came during the 2023 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka that showed that kindness has no borders. After Bumrah became a father, Afridi walked up to him with a bouquet to congratulate him. That simple gesture won millions of hearts as the Indian pacer also accepted the Pakistani star’s gift.

Notably, Jasprit Bumrah is currently on the England tour with the Indian cricket team for the ongoing five-match Test series. He was rested for the second Test at Edgbaston, where India scripted history by thrashing England by 339 runs even without the premier pacer.
Bumrah, who played in the first Test and took a five-wicket haul during India’s five-wicket loss at Headingley, is all set to return to action in the third Test, starting on July 10 at Lord’s.

It is being said that Pakistan’s new head coach, Mike Hesson, had already informed Afridi, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan about their exclusion. The decision was made to allow them to focus on preparations for the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 and upcoming ODI assignments.
Meanwhile, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan remain unavailable due to injuries, and the national selectors have named Mohammad Nawaz, Sufyan Moqim, and Salman Mirza as their replacements for the upcoming Bangladesh tour.
