Why is Jasprit Bumrah not playing the India vs Oman Asia Cup 2025 match?
The time has finally come for Arshdeep Singh to take the field in the Asia Cup 2025. The Men in Blue are already through to the Super 4s as they line up for their last group-stage match against Oman. With qualification already secured, the top-ranked T20I side has made some changes to their attack for the India vs Oman Asia Cup 2025 clash. Jasprit Bumrah has been rested, and in his place, Arshdeep Singh has been drafted into the India Playing XI. Moreover, Team India has also lightened its reliance on a spin-heavy order by dropping Varun Chakravarthy from the combination.
Jasprit Bumrah rested, Arshdeep Singh joins the India Playing XI for India vs Oman Asia Cup 2025 match
The Men in Blue have arrived in Abu Dhabi for their concluding group-stage clash at the Asia Cup. Qualification for the Super 4s was secured long ago for Suryakumar Yadav and Co. Now, as they gear up for the next stage of the ACC tournament, the side has made some changes to the India Playing XI for the contest against Oman. Jasprit Bumrah, who played as the sole specialist pacer in the campaign opener against the UAE and in the India vs Pakistan match, has now been rested.
Meanwhile, Bumrah's exit has made way for the team's highest wicket-taker in the format, Arshdeep Singh, to claim a spot in the Playing XI. Furthermore, spinner Varun Chakravarthy has also been rested, opening up a spot for Harshit Rana in the combination. The India vs Oman Asia Cup 2025 clash, consequently, will highlight the side's pace attack, unlike their previous outings in the UAE. However, before that, fans are in for a batting showdown.
