Ajit Agarkar said that Jasprit Bumrah has been provided with an adequate amount of rest, and he is keen to play both Test matches of the upcoming series against the West Indies National Cricket Team.
However, that would not be the case as he has been selected in the squad for the home Test series. Bumrah will be accompanied by Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Nitish Kumar Reddy as the other seam-bowling options.
Meanwhile, the likes of Akash Deep, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, and Shardul Thakur, who were part of the India tour of England 2025, have missed out on selection.

"This is a team for both the Test matches. So, he's available for both. We've had a fair break after England. He didn't play the fifth Test either. There's been a month or five weeks of break," he said in response to a PTI query.

The BCCI selection committee chairman further said that Devdutt Padikkal replaced Karun Nair in the Test squad because the latter was unable to impress in the limited chances he got.
"We feel Padikkal offers a little bit more at this point and I wish we could give everyone 15 or 20 Tests. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way," Agarkar said.
Notably, Karun Nair had a disappointing outing on his comeback to Test cricket on the England tour as he scored just 205 despite the pitches on offer being batting-friendly in most of the matches.
