1st Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day Four
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been declared fit to play in the third Test between India and England which starts in Nottingham on Saturday (18th August). Bumrah was named in the Indian squad for the first three Tests but wasn't fit enough to make the playing XI in either of the Tests.

Bumrah's return will be a big boost for the Indian team who have been battered by the hosts and trail 2-0 in the five-match series.
The pacer had injured his left hand in the first match of the tour, India's first T20I against Ireland back in June, and did not feature in any of the matches on the tour post that. Bumrah then underwent a surgery in Leeds on July 4 and went back to India for rehabilitation before being called back for the Test series.
