Bumrah might be available for first test.

LIV has put up a video of him being back to practice.

I hope he is not rushed back before his injury has healed properly.

Yes, this is a long tour and it's better to have him in team for remaining 3-4 tests, than forcing him to play 1 and then get injured for 3 months.

He can bowl as he injured his non-bowling arm ...  but fielding will be a problem unless the injury has healed completely.

[Gollum]

Don't play him until he is 100% fit, long series awaits. 

[Khota]

After Saha screwup there is no need to rush him. pace bowlers have very limited shelf life and they are never the same after an injury.

[Suhaan]

Yes shouldn't be rushed in,but Kohli does all the things which even a child would say wrong..so I believe he will spearhead the attack along with Ishant and Yadav, benching Shami,Kuldeep (Kohli is one who cuts the very daal where he himself sits) .that is the degree of his dumbness

his  injury is in non bowling thumb.  so, he should be playing.

Only if the thumb has fully healed. Else while fielding he will aggravate it and may be out because of the pain.

[Vilander]

He will be 100% fit..cause it fits in...with all the talk from Anderson..Eng is going to be coping a lot of crap this summer...

Problem would be fielding and not bowling.

[Mosher]

Bumrah should not play unless he is fully fit. He might aggravate it while fielding or the English bowlers might target his fingers when batting. Its a long series, no need to rush him. 

[Clarke]

Plz plz plz be ready for Lords and wreck the english using the slope, just as Sir McGrath would do. If McGrath >>> Bumrah then England test team of 2005 >>> test team of 2018.

Good observation bro !   Left hand injury can be very risky for a right-handed batsman.

[speedheat]

 i don't expect any sense from this dimwit team management, first they screwd saha then destroyed bhuvi, turned umesh yadav into a meek trundler,

classic testmatch type bowlers like chahar n siraj were wasted in t20is where as a t20i only type bowler like kaul was banging his @$ in Odis n now trying to kill our golden goose bumrah

Don't be surprised if they force bumrah despite being unfit..

so ? Bumrah has his big inducker off the seam too.

 

Bumrah to du Plessis, OUT, lets it go and loses his off stump! He stands and stares at the pitch, perhaps wondering why it hasn't made the ball bounce over the wickets. But Bumrah, when he pitches it up, gets balls to skid through and there's that exaggerated angle into the right-hander as well.
