Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested for the limited-overs fixtures against England while Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has been out of the side for quite sometime due to injury issues will probably be included.
"Jassi has already bowled close to 180 overs, including nearly 150 overs (149.4 overs) in four Test matches (till first Test versus England) since the start of the Australian tour.
"Add to that, the number of hours spent on the field. It is only logical that after these two Tests in Motera, where he will have a big role to play, he should be given rest for white-ball leg," a senior BCCI official, privy to the developments, was quoted as saying by PTI on condition of anonymity.
Apart from Kumar, Mohammed Shami, T.Natarajan and Navdeep Saini would also be back.
"Bhuvneshwar Kumar might make a comeback and Mohammed Shami after a break will play a few white-ball games. Nattu (T Natarajan) and Saini will also come back in the white-ball teams. As far as Jassi is concerned, he can well get ready playing 14 to 16 high-intensity IPL games for Mumbai Indians," the source said.
Talking about Ashwin's inclusion in the T20I side, the source said that including the off-spinner in the squad if Jadeja is not fit won't be a bad idea.
"Chahal is a certainty among slow bowlers across two formats but in case Jadeja is not fit in time for the white ball games, it won't be a bad idea to test Ashwin," the source further explained.
