Jasprit Bumrah poised to surpass Wasim Akram's all-time record in Manchester Test

Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of becoming the Asian bowler with the most Test wickets in England. The Indian Cricket Team is set to face the England Cricket Team in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester, starting July 23. Bumrah is expected to lead India’s pace attack in this crucial match.

Initially, Jasprit Bumrah participation was uncertain, as he was scheduled to play only three of the five Tests in the series. However, with multiple injuries affecting the Indian squad, his presence has become essential.

Nitish Kumar Reddy has already been ruled out of the series due to a knee injury, while pacer Arshdeep Singh is sidelined for the fourth Test. Additionally, Akash Deep may miss the Manchester Test because of a back injury. Given these setbacks, India cannot afford to rest Bumrah in the upcoming game.
