Bumrah’s workload management has always been the main focus for both the Mumbai Indians and the BCCI, and even before the start of the ongoing IPL 2026, the premier pacer was sent to the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for strength and conditioning.

The India national cricket team is all set to play a one-off Test against Afghanistan in New Chandigarh from June 6 to 10, followed by a three-match ODI series later in the month. Dharamsala, Lucknow, and Chennai will host the ODI matches between India and Afghanistan on June 14, 17, and 20.
Jasprit Bumrah likely to play either Test or ODI series against Afghanistan
As a result, the national selectors are likely to decide whether Bumrah should play the Test match or the ODI series against Afghanistan. If Bumrah plays the Test, he may be rested for the ODIs. And if he is picked for the ODI series, then he could miss the one-off Test.
However, the one-off Test against Afghanistan is not part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-26, but Bumrah’s love for Test cricket could influence his decision. If Bumrah misses the one-off Test, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are likely to lead India’s pace attack.
Auqib Nabi likely to get India chance against Afghanistan
However, Nabi’s selection may depend on the team combination. Notably, Bumrah last played a Test match against South Africa at home last year. Despite India losing the series 0-2, the fast bowler bowled brilliantly and picked up eight wickets in two matches.
