Bhuvneshwar Kumar had his troubles with injuries in 2018 and due to the same, he wasn't at his deadly best. After missing quite a few matches, Kumar made a good comeback in the Asia Cup. And even though he did not get a single game in the series, Kumar was part of the team that won the Test series in Australia.

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested in the ODI series against Australia and the entire New Zealand tour, the onus was on him to lead the Indian bowling attack. He played every match in the series against Australia and New Zealand and provided the goods with the new ball and at the death.

The right-arm seamer is also expected to bowl a lot of overs for his IPL side Sunrisers Hyderabad as well, and thus the selectors will want to provide a much-needed break to him before the IPL.
