Team India are gunning for an ODI series win over England as the two sides come face to face in the series decider on Sunday, at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. However, Rohit Shama’s men would have to make do with the absence of Jasprit Bumrah who wasn’t named in the playing XI for the third ODI.
The 28-year-old picked up a six-wicket haul against England in the first ODI, and thus his absence would be a big blow for India.
Speaking during the toss, the Indian skipper revealed that Bumrah misses the third ODI because of a niggle. He had a slight issue in his back spasm, and given the pacer’s importance to Team India, the management have decided not to risk it.

Bumrah thus misses out, and in his place, Mohammed Siraj will be playing. That’s the only change India made to their playing XI from the second ODI.

England: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w/c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Craig Overton, David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley
