India's pace spearhead Bumrah 'unlikely' to get rest in Asia Cup Super Four stage

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate hinted at the possibility of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah getting rest in the business end of the Asia Cup as "unlikely", considering the remaining fixtures will put him in the best space for the first Test against the West Indies, which will commence in Ahmedabad on October 2.

Bumrah's workload management has been on the radar since he struggled with back spasms during the second day of the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney in January.

During the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in India, the number one Test bowler was bound to feature in just three Tests out of the five to manage his workload issues.

In the ongoing Asia Cup, after India secured their spot in the Super Fours stage, Bumrah was rested for the final group-stage fixture against Oman. Since the 31-year-old's return during India's six-wicket victory over arch-rival Pakistan, Bumrah's involvement in the remaining two Super Fours games against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has been up for debate.
