Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate explained Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from the final Test against England, citing workload management and past injuries, insisting decisions were made in the team’s best interest.

"It will be a race against time to get him fit for the final two Test matches in September after completing rehabilitation," a BCCI official said.

Teams will get six points in case of a tie and four points if the match ends in a draw.

The WTC final against New Zealand will be held from June 18-22 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

While no one from BCCI has officially confirmed the development, former England captain and renowned cricket writer Michael Atherton has reported about the development in 'The Times'.

The 35-year-old has been a stalwart of the Test side since debuting in 2009 as an opener, going on to establish himself as a world-class keeper-batsman.

The injury will be a cause for concern for Delhi Capitals, who Iyer captains in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL starts on April 9.
