Jasprit Bumrah played three of the five Tests during the England series as part of a pre-decided plan. He featured in the first, third, and fourth matches and took 14 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls. The decision over his workload management attracted criticism despite being planned in advance.
Sunil Gavaskar said that Jasprit Bumrah had informed the selection committee he could play in only three of the five England Tests. He added that there was debate over whether Bumrah should have featured in the crucial final Test at the Oval, given the pitch’s heavy grass.
"To be fair, he had informed the selection committee that he could play only three Tests out of the five. The debate that has generated some heat is whether he should have played the last must-win Test match, especially since it was the grassiest pitch at the Oval in a long time," he added.

"The next Test match was in early October, and so there were two clear months for him to rest and recover in time for that. The Indian team management stated that he wasn't picked considering his future. This is where the lines between what is good for the individual and what is good for Indian cricket got a little blurred," Gavaskar opined.
For Indian Cricket’s Sake, Jasprit Bumrah Had to Play - Sunil Gavaskar
"Surely at that stage if he was fit, then for Indian cricket's sake, he had to play. Whether then it was his call or the management’s call not to play is not known, but in the end after India’s win it showed once again if ever there was need to know that nobody is indispensable in the game. The game just moves on."
The 31-year-old missed the Champions Trophy earlier this year due to a back injury but made a comeback during IPL 2025. He is expected to be seen next in action in the Asia Cup 2025.
