However, former batsman Ajay Jadeja has argued the need for Jasprit Bumrah in the Games against Minano teams after resting in important matches. It has come after resting from playing Bumrah in many important sports during the last few months.
He was absent from India’s playing with XI in two deciding tests during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India won the Birmingham Test after the onset of the series and the onset of the final test at the Oval, and both Games marked the unavailability of Jasprit Bumrah.

Ajay Jadeja questioned Bumrah’s unnecessary participation in the match against UAE
With the possibility that Bumrah could begin in the Asia Cup opener for India against UAE, Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has come out in protest against the decision made by the Indian management.

“The match is against UAE. There is no disrespect because I have seen their captain, [Muhammad] Wasim, and that talent is with him. You cannot rank any team, but it is a T20 World Cup winning team India. Therefore, I am clear. If Bumrah plays tomorrow, I am going on strike, “he concluded on Sony Sports Network.
