Why Jasprit Bumrah isn’t playing for India in 3rd ODI against England at Lord’s with series on the line
England chose to bat first as India left out Jasprit Bumrah with a knee injury and recalled KL Rahul, Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav.
On Sunday, July 19, 2026, England skipper Harry Brook won the toss and elected to bat first against India at Lord's Cricket Ground in London, with the series tied at 1-1.
The Harry Brook-led English side made one change, bringing in Josh Tongue for Saqib Mahmood, while India welcomed back KL Rahul, Prince Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh to the playing XI.
India will miss ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah due to reactive swelling in his left knee sustained while fielding during the second ODI in Cardiff, the BCCI said.
Joe Root remains unbeaten in the series with scores of 76 and 99, positioning England to leverage his outstanding form in the decisive match.
With the ODI World Cup less than a year away, this contest offers both teams an opportunity to claim a crucial bilateral series victory at cricket's most iconic venue.
The injury to veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has added to Team India's worries. He missed the Lord's ODI. Keeping the 2027 ODI World Cup in mind, it's crucial for Bumrah to remain fully fit.
