New Delhi: Indias World Test Championship campaign kicks off with a five-test series against England. Star bowler Jasprit Bumrah despite a limited three-match participation due to workload management is expected to be a key player in Indias challenge. A strong performance in England could also see Bumrah achieve a historic milestone. Jasprit Bumrahs impressive 37 wickets against England in England could increase to 52 if he takes 15 more in the current series. This would surpass Ishant Sharmas record making Bumrah the Indian bowler with the most wickets taken in England. Bumrah told Dinesh Karthik on Sky Sports that he will participate in only three of the five-match Test series definitely including the first match. He cited this limited availability as his reason for declining the captaincy. 3 test matches are what I am looking at. First is definitely on. The rest we will see what is the plan. Yes that is going to happen. Rest we see how things are. What is the workload? What is the scenario. 3 Test matches is what I can manage at this moment. I dont want to be in a desperate situation. That is one part of it as a captain I cannot be dictating I will only play 3 matches. That does not send a good message to the team. So of all these things keeping n mind. Trying to give my best as a player. Hopefully in the games I play I give my best Bumrah said.
